The controversy surrounding President John Mahama's decision to use his brother Ibrahim Mahama's private jet instead of a state-owned aircraft has been reignited.

In a second attempt to address the public uproar, Kwakye, the Acting Spokesperson for the president, has once again stepped forward to provide further clarity.

During his appearance on Asempa FM monitored by MyNewsGH, Kwakye reiterated that the matter has been overblown.

He recalled that Mahama had previously used his brother's Dzata private jet while in opposition, without raising any concerns. "This is not a new thing," Kwakye emphasized. "The president has made this decision before, and it has never been a problem." He explained that the use of the private jet was a necessary and temporary choice based on safety, security, and financial considerations, particularly when compared to the state-owned aircraft.
