Stop The Embarrassing Propaganda: Okudzeto Ablakwa Served Hot Response From Presidency On Prez Jet

Ranking member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has questioned why Ghana’s presidential jet was flown non-stop to France for a flight time of over 6 hours contrary to claims that the aircraft is unable to fly long haul.

He lamented that he can disclose with absolute certainty and without fear of contradiction that a few days before President Akufo-Addo’s current travel to The Netherlands and France, Ghana’s Presidential Jet the Falcon 900EX was on Tuesday August 30, 2022 flown non-stop to France for a flight time of 6hours and 24minutes from Accra.

However, speaking on The Pulse with Blessed Sogah on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, the North Tongu Member of Parliament said his information points to the fact that the President travelled on a separate flight to France. But an undefined person used the jet in France, the same location the President was headed for a state visit.

The Presidential Jet on this latest trip was flown direct or non-stop for 6hours and 24minutes to Paris, France.

Eugene Arhin director of communications at the presidency has started that hi attention has been drawn to a Facebook post made by Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa regarding the use of the presidential jet, and my responses are as follows.

Indeed, the Presidential Jet departed Ghana on 30th August to France for major repair works to be carried out on it repair works which are very much long overdue. 

The Air Force has indicated that the Presidential Jet will be out of service for a total of four (4) months, and will return to Ghana and be available for use in December. It will be recalled that in May this year, the Minister for Defence, Hon. 

Dominic Nitiwul, alerted Ghanaians to the fact that the Presidential Jet would be flown to France for major repair works to be undertaken on it. 

Given this, how Hon. Ablakwa expects President Akufo-Addo to return to Ghana on Saturday, 10th September, from his current trip to the Netherlands and France on board the Presidential Jet, which is undergoing major repair works and is scheduled to return to Ghana in December, beats my imagination. 

He concluded that he would urge Hon. Ablakwa to minimize his penchant for engaging in propaganda regarding the Presidential Jet, to avoid further embarrassments to his person.
