Ablakwa and others prepare a private members bill to stop presidents from using chartered flights
After bashing President Akufo-Addo over his luxurious travels while neglecting the country’s economic situation, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, legislator for North Tongu has decided to file private members bill in Parliament to regulate Presidential Travel.
The Parliamentarian has been at the forefront of a crusade to prevent President Nana Akufo-Addo from using chartered flights for foreign trips.
He alleged that the President has so far spent GH¢34 million of taxpayers’ funds on chartered flights between May 2021 and now.
Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa has been demanding accountability and probing why the Presidential Jet has seemingly been jettisoned through a series of questions on the floor of Parliament
The North Tongu legislator revealed to Citi FM more about the private member’s bill he will introduce to Parliament soon.
“I am currently leading a team that is working on a private member’s bill to regulate presidential travels. I am hoping that we will get some bi-partisan support along the line so that we can regulate presidential travels in Ghana and legally stop a reckless and insensitive president from this wastefulness on the struggling Ghanaian people.”
