According to Mensah Thompson, some children of a close relative of the president between December 20 to December 30, 2021, were allowed to use Ghana’s Presidential Jet for a shopping trip to the UK. “So between the 20th and 30th of December, 2021, during the Christmas, the children of a close relative of the President took Ghana’s Presidential Jet the Falcon EX jet on a trip to the UK just for Christmas shopping. The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has for several months tried unsuccessfully to get government to disclose the cost of the president’s foreign travels using private jets. The Minister of National Security, when summoned to parliament to answer a question on the cost, failed to make a disclosure citing the safety and security of the president. Meanwhile, the government has announced plans to acquire a new and bigger presidential jet for the State.

Owusu Bempah is angry that the IGP did not consult men of God, like himself, for “satisfactory briefing on prophetic ministry”. I am happy that the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has come out to deny the claims by Owusu Bempah about Apostle Opoku Onyinah. According to the Council, it delegated its then-president, Opoku Onyinah, and Anyani Boadum to meet with Owusu Bempah.

The Bantamahene, Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, is worried about the developmental state of the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi. The influential sub-chief in an interaction with the media has subsequently pleaded with the government to give more attention to the state of Ghana's second-largest city.
