Yaw Kwakwa’s removal
Background:
A letter from the Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah indicated that President Akufo-Addo had directed that Mr. Kwakwa’s appointment is terminated since 31st January 2022.
Before his removal, there was a standoff between the Ghana Airport Company and private businessman McDan Aviation over the establishment of a private jet lounge at the Kotoka International Airport.
The Ghana Airports Company had called for safety precautions to be followed before the launch of the McDan Aviation but this was ignored and the launch was held.
