A communicator for the National Democratic Congress named Dela Edem has called for the sale of Ghana’s presidential jet. He believes the money raised can help fund important national development projects.
Edem stated this on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem program. He suggested this action should happen before the government considers buying a new aircraft.
The current presidential jet is a Dassault Falcon 900. It was recently sent to France for its annual maintenance.
Selling the jet could provide immediate funds for urgent needs. This approach prioritizes development over maintaining expensive assets, according to Edem.
The NDC communicator's statement highlights a debate on government spending priorities. The proposal aims to redirect resources efficiently.
The specific amount expected from the sale, and the development projects it could fund, were not detailed.
This is part of ongoing discussions about government expenditure and resource allocation in Ghana.
Further details regarding the government's response or plans for the presidential jet are awaited.
