<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority in Ghana’s Parliament has petitioned the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps and the Lebanese Ambassador to Ghana regarding the suspicious flights allegedly linked to illegal activities. They are requesting international intervention into the matter, particularly concerning flights from Gran Canaria that reportedly landed at Kotoka International Airport. These flights are believed to have been used for transporting illicit drugs and money into Ghana, raising serious national security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority raised their concerns about two AirMed flights and a Cavok Air cargo flight, which they claim were involved in suspicious activities. They have asked the Diplomatic Corps to help investigate these flights and provide necessary support to Ghana\u2019s authorities. This petition follows a press conference where the Minority demanded that the government investigate these flights to ensure the security of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the government, represented by Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed the allegations, calling them baseless and the investigations a “waste of time.” Despite this, the Minority insists that independent investigations show that the AirMed flights originated from Gran Canaria, not Luanda, as the government claims. They also cast doubt on the records of the Cavok Air flights, stating that they suspect the aircraft may not have arrived in Ghana on the dates claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority’s petition is not only a call for an investigation but also stresses the importance of adhering to international conventions like the UN’s agreements on combating illicit drug trafficking and transnational organized crime. They point to Ghana’s commitment to these issues, reflected in local laws like the Narcotics Control Commission Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority\u2019s petition lists five key actions they hope the Diplomatic Community will take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Share intelligence about the flights and the involved aircraft with Ghanaian security agencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Help facilitate cooperation between Ghanaian and international security forces for the investigations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Protect Ghana\u2019s international reputation and prevent the country from becoming a transit hub for illegal drugs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Support the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the issue thoroughly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Advocate for the protection of the independence of Parliament and ensure the safety of whistleblowers, including MPs like Hon. John Ntim Fordjour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In conclusion, the Minority calls for international support to ensure that Ghana\u2019s integrity remains intact and that the country does not become a point of entry for organized criminal activities, which could affect both national and global security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
