Former Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul has expressed strong disapproval over President John Mahama's decision to use his brother's private jet for official duties instead of the state-owned presidential jet.

Speaking on Joy News' PM Express on Wednesday, January 22, he described the move as "wrong" and questioned the rationale behind abandoning a fully functional presidential jet.

The debate surrounding the use of the presidential jet continues to stir controversy in Parliament, with Nitiwul's comments adding weight to the ongoing discussions on government expenditure and resource management. "I'm saying that there's a lack of sincerity," The Bimbilla MP stated. "The presidential jet is in good order.

In fact, former President Nana Akufo-Addo used this presidential jet either on the 22nd or 23rd of December to Takoradi because we had to go to Nzulezu to commission a Naval base, and he used this jet.
