Mahama travelled by Emirates, not private jet – Gov’t clarifies

The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has rubbished allegations by the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, that former President John Dramani Mahama travelled on an expensive private jet.
“Clearly the MP in question is dabbling in a mediocre attempt and propaganda,” the minister said.
“He does not have any facts. He is just wasting everybody’s time with claims that are false.
President Mahama has not travelled by private jet. Indeed, President Mahama travelled to Japan via Emirates, and it is something that you can check. It is not a secret.”
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu stressed that President Mahama’s travel arrangements were transparent and verifiable, urging Ghanaians not to be misled by what he described as “cheap propaganda.”
President Mahama left Ghana on Sunday, August 17, for a two-nation official visit to Japan and Singapore, with the objective of strengthening bilateral ties and exploring new opportunities for investment in Ghana.
