The Minority in Ghana’s Parliament has formally petitioned the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps and Lebanon’s Ambassador, H.E. Maher Kheir, for intervention in the ongoing debate over suspicious flights from Gran Canaria to the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The flights are suspected to have carried illicit drugs and money, raising serious concerns about national security.
The petition follows a press conference on April 1, 2025, during which the Minority called for state authorities to investigate the alleged landings of AirMed and Cavok Air flights.
Despite President Mahama directing investigative agencies to probe the matter, government officials, such as Felix Kwakye Ofosu, have dismissed the allegations as baseless.
According to the minority in parliament independent checks revealed discrepancies in the origins and flight records of the aircrafts, challenging the narrative presented by the government.
They cited Ghana’s obligations under international conventions against transnational crimes, alongside domestic legislation, to call for credible investigations.
To address these concerns, the Minority in a press statement issued on April 8, 2025 urged the Diplomatic Community to collaborate with Ghanaian authorities, share intelligence, and support oversight efforts in Parliament.
They also proposed a Commission of Inquiry and stressed the importance of protecting whistleblowers involved.
The call for international cooperation aims to preserve Ghana’s integrity and combat organized crime effectively.
This unfolding controversy continues to highlight tensions between the government and opposition, as well as the need for transparency in addressing national security issues.
