The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is set to file a private members bill in Parliament to regulate presidential travels.
The MP has been at the forefront of a crusade to prevent President Nana Akufo-Addo from using chartered flights for foreign trips.
According to him, the President has so far spent GH¢34 million of taxpayers’ funds on chartered flights between May 2021 and now.
Through a series of questions on the floor of Parliament, Okudzeto Ablakwa has been demanding accountability and questioning why the Presidential Jet has seemingly been jettisoned.
The North Tongu MP told Citi News more about the private member’s bill he will introduce to Parliament soon.
“I am currently leading a team that is working on a private member’s bill to regulate presidential travels. I am hoping that we will get some bi-partisan support along the line so that we can regulate presidential travels in Ghana and legally stop a reckless and insensitive president from this wastefulness on the struggling Ghanaian people.”
