Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Techiman South and former Minister for Local Government, has officially petitioned Parliament, raising concerns over actions that he believes could compromise the security and safety of President John Dramani Mahama.
In his petition, Korsah highlights two key incidents that he argues demonstrate a disregard for established security protocols surrounding the President's movements.
The MP's petition points out that President Mahama has, on multiple occasions, opted to travel using a private aircraft owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, rather than the state-owned presidential jet that is specifically maintained and reserved for his use.
He argues that this decision raises serious security and safety concerns, as the private aircraft may not have undergone the same rigorous safety assessments, security clearances, and operational checks that the state aircraft routinely undergoes. "The President has, on record, undertaken foreign travels using his brother's private aircraft at a time when the state-owned aircraft was available.
