  Let us put politics aside how prudent is it to rent a helicopter for security Purposes.

  We know the four that are broken down are with the Air Force. What about the other 3 that were bought at $150 million? Those are the ones that are being claimed to be missing.

  Ghana Gas helicopters are in the care of the Ghana Air Force since Ghana Gas has no hangars to protect the aircraft.

  Ghana Gas helicopters are in the care of the Ghana Air Force since Ghana Gas has no hangars to protect the aircraft.
  
  “Ghana Gas does not have the pilots and expertise to fly the helicopters… The helicopters are not supposed to be parked at Atuabo… The Ghana Armed Forces was asked to manage the helicopters,”
  This is stupid decision from corrupt NDC Government. The money was there so it was a matter of creating, looting and sharing. Why do you commit your resources in these done performing assets when there were critical areas the money could have been used to improve the lives of the people. Indeed NDC was an iompetent government.

  I just don't understand why the past government officials are responding to useless Npp propaganda? You don't have to come out to answer this buffoons who take Ghanaians for a ride, this is just away of buying time for their families and friends government to cover their shame. Nana is a failure and he will continue to fail, he is simply Azaaaa, 419 and Sakawa, only fools will believe this outmoded Nana can save their miserable lives.

  You are a Ghanaian, I believe. Wishing for the failure of our government is a mark of selfishness. If Ghana fails, you are part of it. You have no other country to call your own. So stop this selfish attitude.

  So this is the type of government Mahama was. I mean how can people be so wicked in their hearts ans soul to behave this way. Just listen to yourself what rubbish you ae saying. Even your middle school boy will tell you that you are corrupt. I wish your party stays in opposition forever. Ghanaians should start thinking of voting for another party to replace this NDC.

  Enti woaa woreka saa as3m yi, 3y3 ma wo as a former Minister and a current member of parliament? If this was the case, then what was the business justification for procuring the helicopters? Knowing very well that we haven't the resources to keep the copters in operation, why were they bought in the first place? Simply, some people just wanted to bite a chunk off the state coffers. Ah, Ghana and sub-sahara Africa.

  Are we discussing 7 helicopters: 4 initial bought and later 3 at US$50m each. I think the later 3 are the ones in question. Please come out clear on that.

  Why wouldn't people do due deligence before putting out false information to just to score cheap political points? Common sense will tell everybody that a helicopter cannot just disappear from the Country without any trace.
