President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recklessly charters an ACJ319 ultra-luxury airplane from German operator K5 Aviation for €20,000 per hour with the registration D-ALEX.
The cost of this trip to the Ghanaian public GH4.1 million. According to Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Honorable Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reportedly resumed his egregiously irresponsible and dangerous methods of splurging on extravagant charters of the Presidential plane,
The North Tongu Member of Parliament said in a statement that after acting like a new man by using commercial flights on his most recent two journeys to the US and the UK, he had returned to his egregiously irresponsible and dangerous habits of splurging on extravagant charter flights. He said that President Akufo-Addo decided to forgo his preferred LX-DIO operated by Global Jet Luxembourg on this occasion and choose German-based private jet operator K5-Aviation, possibly believing he would be able to avoid our unquestionable observation if he switched firms.
What The Money Was Spent on
The MP said that because it is a more pricey luxury carrier, it has more oligarchic characteristics including a master bedroom with a double bed and an adjacent bathroom with a shower, as well as two further bedrooms and three bathrooms. a walk-in shower in the master bathroom, an air humidification system, an airshow, and five exterior cameras; Gogo 2Ku high-speed Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 70 Mbit/sec for streaming and video calls (with an additional fee); movie on demand and DVD with a 55″ screen; music streaming; PlayStation; external cameras with a tailfin view; airshow; and a satellite phone.
The MP said, “For President Akufo-Addo’s current trip to Belgium and Rwanda beginning Sunday the 19th of June, 2022 to attend the 15th Edition of the European Development Days Forum in Brussels, Belgium, and the 26th Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations in Kigali, Rwanda; we can confirm a conservative bill of €480,000.00.”
Praise for The First Lady
“I must, however, commend First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo for honourably flying to Kigali aboard Ghana’s Presidential Jet which took her some 4hours and 49minutes. Her confidence in Ghana’s Presidential Jet is refreshing and deeply admirable. Ghanaians are exceedingly proud of her,” he praised.
Insulting Insensitivity
President Akufo-Addo’s wastefulness and obstinacy at a time when Ghanaians are experiencing a crisis in their ability to pay their bills must require a very special type of insulting insensitivity.
