I heard that stupid Kofi Bentil on News File talk about the President's safety and security, that the manufacturer of Ibrahim Mahama's jet could plant listening and video devices when the plane goes for servicing.

Stupid talk! Who says foreign spy agencies can not plant same devices on the private jets Ghana will hire for the President?

The advanced countries are already monitoring our very lives, stupid Bentil.

Wise move. Free fuel, free maintenance, airport taxes paid by the state 3 weeks ago

It is a wise move.for.Ibrahim to have his plane maintained and fueled by the state. Airport taxes will also be paid by the state. All this is more than renting a small plane.

With all the problems that we have in the country this is what Ghanaians are preoccupied with. I don't think we have suffered enough as people.

I seriously don't see why Ghanaians are complaining. It is the President fault that Ghana can't afford a new presidential jet? So because we can buy new jet he should reject an offer from his brother to use his plane free ? Is this the important issue that will put bread and butter on our table now. 500,000 young Ghanaians have applied for job in the security services and we are being told that only 5000 of that number can to employed. Is that not a more important issue than this jet matter?

The governed wants the of Ghana to on foot or by bus to any foreign country . A fool at forty is a fool forever. Nana Addo used a foreign chartered flight to travel to so many countries including a football mutch in England and it was okay. Was the chartered flight by Nana Addo and by himself or central government. Do onto others what u want others to do onto you. Constructive criticism is better than malicious intent

Brother's private jet? Ghanaians are too shallow minded. Mahama is using his brother to do his own dodgy stuff. The private jet is his but he is pushing it to his Brother. "3pro a 3na y3 be te ne kankan".

Ghana will be 70 years next year 6th March. A COLLECTIVE SHAME that the country doesn't have a RELIABLE AIRPLANE to transport the leader of the country as and when necessary. A private citizen who happens to be a brother of the president has a private jet. Once in a while he helps the state in transporting the president. The least Ghanaians can do is to be grateful for the gesture. The MORE REASON WHY INDEPENDENCE DAY celebrations MUST FOCUS MORE on VERY DEEP REFLECTIONS than extravagance and flamboyance.

This is the sore state of governance in ghana.If it were to be a developed country this could result in impeachment. President using his brother's jet for official travel. Who can prove tha that Ibrahim wouldn't influence his brother the president. This guy wasn't paying important duty on his machinery imports. Ghanaians only got to know after his brother lost the election. Unfortunately Akufo Addo was such an inept president to the extent that Ibrahim never got questioned. These two political parties NPP and NDC only seek power to rob the national treasury.

As Ghana continues discussions on the establishment of a National Airline, it is important that the Government works closely with experienced investors and industry stakeholders to lay a strong foundation for the future of aviation in Ghana.

Leadership from H.E. John Dramani Mahama, together with respected Ghanaian investors such as Daniel McKorley (McDan) and Ibrahim Mahama, could spark the beginning of a truly national aviation industry that supports local capacity and expertise in the industry.

Ghana already has entrepreneurs who have invested heavily in different areas of aviation. These individuals deserve recognition and encouragement.

Countries like Nigeria have shown that when aviation authorities and governments deliberately support their own professionals, the industry grows rapidly.

Institutions such as the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and airport authorities actively promote
and protect the growth of their local aviation businesses.

Ghana can learn from this example. Our regulators and institutions, including the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority and the Ghana Airports Company Limited, should continue to support Ghanaian citizens who are investing in aviation infrastructure and services.

One notable example is a young Ghanaian aircraft engineer from the Upper East Region named Moses Nsor who established Rams Aviation, an aircraft maintenance company at Kotoka International Airport.

The first of his kind training and employing young aviators from KNUST at his facility at the Airport shoukd be sort for to help the country

Just two years ago, the area where this facility stands was largely undeveloped.Thick forest this young engineer turned the area into a world class facility international accepted who handles foreign airlines apart from Klm Maintenance is the president or minister aware.

Through dedication and personal investment, he transformed that land into a modern aircraft maintenance operation that now handles services for foreign airlines operating through the airport.The first of his kind in Ghana from the Upper East Region by name Moses Nsor.

This achievement demonstrates the level of competence and international qualification that Ghanaian professionals possess. Yet many of these efforts remain largely unnoticed.

If Ghana is truly serious about establishing a viable National Airline, then professionals like this should be recognized and included as part of the national aviation development strategy.

I personally encountered this engineer years ago at Nassau Airport in the Bahamas, where he was working on a four-engine aircraft preparing for a long transoceanic flight. Seeing a Ghanaian performing such high-level technical work abroad was inspiring. Today, seeing such professionals return home to invest in Ghana should be a source of national pride.

Let us therefore be nationalistic in our approach. By bringing together government leadership, private investors, regulators, and experienced aviation experts, Ghana can build a strong aviation ecosystem that supports
maintenance, operations, and training within the country.

Aviation development should not be politicized. It should be treated as a national priority focused on competence, collaboration, and long-term growth.

The only difference between gonja mafia John Mahama and armed robbers is that the latter use offensive weapons but John Mahama uses his brother to steal from poor Ghanaians.
