At the centre of the concern is the President’s continued use of a private jet owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama. The Minority argues that the arrangement raises constitutional questions and could affect public confidence in the presidency. https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Minority-questions-cost-of-President-Mahama-s-use-of-brother-s-private-jet-2025542“The Minority is formally considering a joint petition with civil society organisations, professional bodies, and concerned citizens… on both the private jet arrangements and the Damang mine process as two manifestations of the same constitutional breach,” he stated. “On the private jet, the President must immediately cease using his brother’s aircraft for official travel, for as long as Ibrahim Mahama’s companies hold, seek, or are in negotiation for any state contract, concession, or mineral rights,” he said. Ampratwum-Sarpong also called for full transparency around the arrangement, urging the presidency to disclose details of all such travel.
