Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) New Juaben North Constituency Chairman, Kwadwo Boateng-Agyemang, has stated that the late Defence Minister, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, warned President about the state of Ghana's presidential jet before his untimely death.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Atinka TV on Thursday, August 21, 2025, Boateng-Agyemang, who described himself as a cousin of the late minister, recounted conversations allegedly held between Omane Boamah and the president concerning the safety of the jet. "I will never join the conversation about buying a new private jet.
Look at what has happened regarding the crash; my family member was involved.
I don't want to make it emotional, but the truth is, they refused to service the aircraft because of what they had said," he stated.
