We’re ‘Doomed’ Under Akufo-Addo – Ablakwa Descends On Nitiwul For Saying Cost Doesn’t Matter In Getting Aircraft For President’s Travels

Lawmaker for North Tongu, Okudzeto Ablakwa has expressed dissatisfaction over response given by Defence minster, Dominic Nitiwul on the cost involved in getting an aircraft for the President to travel outside the county.

Mr Nitiwul told Parliament on Wednesday that the President’s safety is of utmost important and therefore the first thing they consider when procuring an aircraft for his travels regardless of the cost.

“The choice of an aircraft is not the issue of resources. The choice of an aircraft for a country is about the safety of the crew and the VIP travelling. If Parliament writes to the Ministry of Defence for an aircraft for a trip as you have been doing, when I’m looking for an aircraft for you the first thing I will consider is your safety.

Reacting to the Defence minister’s comment, Mr Ablakwa expressed shock questioning why the minister thinks cost is of no importance.

“How on Earth can the Defence Minister tell Parliament cost doesn’t matter in considering which aircraft to charter for the President! We are really doomed!!!’, Ablakwa tweeted.
