Indexing government scandals one at a time
The MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has criticised President Akufo-Addo over what he described as “expensive” travels. The NDC legislator said the President has consistently abandoned the presidential aircraft which was used by former Presidents.
He noted that John Agyekum Kufuor, John Evans Atta Mills and John Mahama all used to travel in the Ghana-owned presidential aircraft. Mr. Ablakwa, therefore, wondered why Akufo-Addo has decided to abandon the presidential aircraft, causing the country to spend millions of cedis on a private jet.
In a Facebook post, the lawmaker said Akufo-Addo rents the Airbus ACJ320neo owned by Acropolis Aviation for £15,000 an hour during each foreign travel.
