Dr. Omane Boamah, Ghana’s defense minister, has put up a robust defense of the vice president’s decision to take a chartered airplane back from London.
The choice to send the vice president in a private jet has drawn harsh criticism from the opposition New Patriotic Party.
Their problem is that Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who was in the opposition, denounced President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s usage of a private jet.
He stated that it was unethical for the president to utilize a private jet when there was a presidential plane available.
Nonetheless, those in government who once denounced the use of private jets now take them for their own travels.
Dr. Omane Boamah stated that the Presidential jet was left in poor condition in a social media post.
He claims that the decision to transport the vice president on a private plane was made since it is now receiving the necessary care in the hospital.
Dr Omane Boamah’s post read “Let the NPP that suffered the most humiliating defeat in recent memory in both the Presidential and Parliamentary elections know this:
- Akufo-Addo’s administration rundown the Presidential jet. Among others, its fuel tank is even corroded.
- The Presidential jet has been in the ‘hospital’ abroad for maintenance, repair and overhaul and may be put in fairly usable state after three months of ‘therapy’.
- The Presidential jet is unfit for use presently.”
