Following the fatal helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, that claimed the lives of five high-ranking government officials, including two ministers, and three crew members, serious questions are being asked about the speed of Ghana's response.

According to the Ghana Armed Forces, the aircraft departed Accra at 9:12 a.m.

en route to Obuasi for official government business.

By commercial flight, the journey from Accra to Kumasi takes around 40 minutes.
