Ama Pratt, Press Secretary and Spokesperson to the Vice President, has issued a pointed response to the Minority in Parliament following their recent claims that two aircraft that landed in Ghana in March 2025 were linked to cocaine trafficking and money laundering.
Speaking on GH TODAY with Lily Mohammed, Pratt called out the Minority for making what she described as baseless accusations without proof, cautioning that such serious allegations will not simply disappear with time.
“You cannot accuse a government of money laundering and cocaine involvement and hope you’ll just walk out when the dust settles,” she warned. “When do we get to the evidence around the cocaine and the money laundering, which is what this issue is?”
She challenged the narrative being pushed by opposition MPs, arguing that no concrete proof has been presented to back the explosive claims.
Rather, she pointed to statements made by the companies involved in the flights, which, according to her, contradict the allegations.
“Everybody knows that that is not what they came here to do. The companies themselves have come out and said, yes, we did not come to Ghana with medicals. We came to refuel, in some instances, to fix our tires,” she said. “That’s not evidence of cocaine or money laundering.”
Pratt did not hold back in addressing those she believes are irresponsibly fueling the controversy in the media and political circles.
“I hope that all of you… who go around communicating on this matter and stating it categorically are ready for the repercussions. Let’s give time for some responsibility,” she added.
