    Outgoing DCEs must leave handing over notes and prepare for a smooth transition at the districts. NPP members in each constituency must meet to select new DCEs as soon as possible to be presented to the president. The preside ...

    This is one of the nonsense Mahama was wasting millions of dollars chasing knowing from the getgo it is a foolish idea. Nana should know that his supports are real and don't take shit like this. We aren't like the foolish Mah ...

    Ms. Dapaah is woefully unqualified to assess ANY potential and possibility of a new airline being formed to operate as a national carrier.

    Why we need a national airline beats me.

  • Ousman Akwasi Nantakyi 7 years ago

    To some of us, investing or building national airline is a complete stupid idea in this time and place. Rather, Nana should focus on building dual carriage rail network for his own legacy.


    Instead of starting a national ...

    She should focus on airport expansion and making deals with some major airline from abroad to use Accra as a major African hub. Could Delta come more often? Might United comeback? These are the things she should look into.

    The airline died during the NPP Gov't! As long as govenrment officials don't keep expecting free tickets and jobs for relatives, it should not be rocket science having an airline.

  • THOMAS 7 years ago

    Ninety percent of national airlines around the world are loosing big money and its been subsidies by the tax payers money,so madam creating this will be looting and sharing for the workers.

  • GHANAIAN 7 years ago

    THE NPP HAD NO CHOICE THAN TO DISSOLVE THE AIRLINE BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE DEBT THE NDC, THROUGH FREE TICKETS, BUILT UP.

    HAVING SAID THAT, IT IS FOLISH AND COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE TO HAVE A NEW ONE.

    SHE SHOULD LEAVE IT TO THE ...

    This is a complete waste of money. I hope the Akufo government will put a knowledgeable person at the top so they can advise him on the airline industry.

    Ghana has failed twice in running an airline. Do you want to make it a third time?

    Are Ghanaians so unqualified and incompetent to run a national airline? East African national airlines- Kenya, Ethiopia are doing well but not their counter parts in West Africa? What is our problem

  • Asempaye 7 years ago

    What happened to the first one?
    We were all withnesses to how politicians run down the airline and eventually sold it and shared it's assets amongst themselves.

  • MICHAEL 7 years ago

    A National Airline so that they can travel free. That is how Ghana Airways collapsed.

  • Hassan 7 years ago

    This decision is a very bad one,taking into consideration of other national airlines loosing.Lets focus on one village one dam and one village one factory first.

    What a welcome news. The stupid, thoughtless dissolution of the operation of GHANA AIRWAYS by Rawlings is mind boggling. I for one, don't think we should let things alone. Instead, we should demand from Rawlings to first acco ...
