A leading member of the Movement For Change, Solomon Owusu, has criticised the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, for peddling falsehoods in his allegations regarding two suspicious flights that landed at Kotoka International Airport in March and departed for Gran Canaria, Spain, on March 25.
In a press conference, the MP said he suspected that the flights-an air ambulance and a private jet-may have been involved in drug trafficking or money laundering.
The lawmaker, who is also the Minority's Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee, had earlier claimed that one of the aircraft, Air MED flight L823 AM, landed in Ghana on March 20 and remained for five days without any record of transporting a patient.
This allegation prompted President John Mahama to order security agencies to "immediately and fully collaborate with the honourable Member of Parliament so he provides all necessary information to investigate the allegations and take all action necessary to expose any drug dealing." However, commenting on the issue during a panel discussion on TV3 monitored by GhanaWeb, Solomon Owusu condemned the conduct of the legislator, adding that the latter only engaged in what he described as "secondary school politics." "When I listened to him, I realised that he was doing secondary school politics.
