A politician from the National Democratic Congress NDC has called for the sale of Ghana's presidential jet. Dela Edem, an NDC communicator, believes the aircraft could fund important development projects.
Edem suggested selling the jet to raise money for national needs. He made these remarks on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem program.
He urged the government to consider this option before looking to buy a new presidential aircraft.
The current Dassault Falcon 900 presidential jet recently traveled to France. It was sent for its annual maintenance checks.
The NDC communicator's proposal highlights a debate about government spending and priorities.
Selling the jet could provide immediate funds for sectors like education or healthcare.
The government has not yet responded to this suggestion.
