During a panel discussion on TV3’s KeyPoints, CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, shared his thoughts on the recent helicopter crash and the national conversation that has followed.
“There will be a need for more helicopters to be procured. When we get there, we should be careful that we don’t subject it to partisan politics,” he stated.
He further cautioned against rushing into uninformed commentary, urging the public and politicians to allow investigations to take their course.
“Let the evidence-based forensic investigations be undertaken so that when we are properly seized with adequate information, we can begin to make comments and recommendations.
“Conjecturing based on opinionated ignorance doesn’t help,” he added.
Prof. Gyampo stressed that while the nation may indeed require more helicopters, discussions about procurement should be grounded in evidence and national interest, not political scoring.
