Mahama’s private jet use didn’t cost taxpayers a dime – Presidency

The Acting Spokesperson to President John Mahama has defended the President’s use of a private jet owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, for official trips to Senegal and The Gambia.

Addressing public concerns, Felix Kwakye Ofosu explained that the private jet had been at the President’s disposal even before the 2024 general elections.

He stressed that this arrangement does not impose any financial burden on the Ghanaian taxpayer, as the jet was provided at no cost.

He reassured the public of President Mahama’s dedication to prudent financial management and sensitivity to Ghana’s economic challenges.

Mr Kwakye Ofosu also pointed out that the official presidential aircraft is currently undergoing a review by the Communications Squadron, the Air Force unit responsible for its operation, which necessitated the temporary use of the private jet.

“The most critical point is that this alternative arrangement has not in any way, shape, or form cost the Ghanaian taxpayer a dime.

“President Mahama is mindful of the precarious economic situation and is committed to utilising public funds prudently,” Kwakye Ofosu stated in an interview with TV3.

He further stated that President Mahama will revert to using the official presidential jet as soon as the review is completed.

“The president is focused on ensuring the best outcomes for Ghana, especially during these economically challenging times,” he added.
