The government has come under fire from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for allegedly harassing the minority over their worries over the mysterious presence of two foreign planes in Ghana: the Cavok Air Antonov An-12B and AirMed flight N823AM.
The party has called for a satisfactory explanation of the aircraft’s missions within the nation and has demanded accountability and transparency.
The NPP was not happy with the government’s answer, which was headed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, according to a statement released on April 6 and signed by the party’s director of communications, Richard Ahiagbah.
The party claimed that the inadequate and insufficient answer had merely increased public skepticism.
The NPP emphasized the peculiar situation involving the planes, pointing out that both allegedly experienced malfunctions while in Ghana.
They maintained that concerns of a fabricated narrative are strengthened by the government’s unwillingness to offer clarification.
The NPP also cited the UN Office on Drugs and Crime’s participation, which has called on the Ghanaian government to look into the missions of the planes.
The party demanded that the relevant security authorities provide a thorough and expert response about the aircraft’s cargo and intended use.
The NPP also sought updates on two significant drug trafficking cases, the $150 million cocaine seizure in Sekondi and the $350 million cocaine bust in Cape Coast, which were purportedly connected to a National Democratic Congress (NDC) member.
The government’s inaction on these issues, according to the party, erodes public confidence, especially in light of the suspected involvement of a senior NDC member.
The statement emphasized that drug trafficking and money laundering are issues of worldwide significance and warned the administration against trivializing them.
The NPP cautioned that the perception of collusion or institutional failure might have major repercussions and that Ghana’s credibility and adherence to its international commitments are at risk.
The NPP reiterated its resolve to hold the government responsible, claiming that Ghana merits improved transparency and leadership in tackling these pressing problems.
