According to the MP, the answers to his question by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta will settle the ongoing brouhaha over the need for Ghana to purchase a new Presidential Jet. “It is, therefore, important that as a country we look at collectively how we can come together to resolve all these issues. “I have filed the question to also understand how much it cost this country between 2013 to 2017 when our president [former President Mahama] was on series of travels using chartered flights,” the MP stated in a Joy News interview monitored by GhanaWeb. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa following President Akufo-Addo’s recent travel to France, Belgium and South Africa, filed an urgent question in Parliament demanding the cost of the President’s chartered flight for the trip. Mr Ablakwa in a Facebook post alleged that the G-Kelt private jet chartered for the president’s travel came at a cost of £345,000 (GHS2,828,432.80).
