The Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has given Dome Kwabenya MP, Adwoa Safo, a three-day ultimatum to explain the circumstances under which she was flown into the country via a private jet to vote in the last session of parliament.
According to him, the services of the private jet cost $140,000 dollars.
He contends that this cost is unjustified and must be investigated by the Special Prosecutor.
“You need $140, 000 to rent the HBQ, that is $4,800 per hour. Why then are we only concerned about GHS120,000, which is far lesser an amount, and we don’t seem to be interested in the $140,000. At today’s interest rate, that is about GHS 948,500, almost a million, that is a huge sum.”
“If we sum the two amounts, we are looking at an excess of GHS 1 million, which has been spent on one person, just because she is needed to vote on the E-levy. The question is where are we getting thee monies from especially at a time government says the economy is struggling?
