Unlike his previous visits to other African countries where he was spotted using his brother’s private jet, the president used Ghana’s presidential jet.

Ghanaians raised concerns about his travels in his brother’s jet.

However, the acting spokeswoman for the president, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, indicated that it came at no cost adding that there was a need to use his brother’s private jet because the Air Force was yet to provide a report on the state of the presidential jet.

“I am sure you are aware that President Mahama is the Commander of the Ghana Armed Forces. Since he became president, he has requested a detailed report of the state of the communications squadron”.

He explained further that “The Communications Squadron is the unit of the Ghana Air Force that handles the presidential aircraft. So he has requested that they give him a brief on the state of the unit itself and the planes under their control and that report is yet to filter in, so pending the receipt of that report, to determine the state of the state aircraft, the president has been travelling the same way he has been travelling in opposition”.

This position expressed by Felix Ofosu Kwakye was countered by the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah Esq, who disclosed that per reports from the transition team, the presidential jet was serviceable and could be used by the president for his travels.
