Ghana doesn't need all these. For what?
Doesn't this guy understand that his opinion is not necessary ? Where was he during the 8 years Akofu Addo rule in Ghana. Ghanaian have not forgotten what he and his Akufo Addo family and friends did to destroy Ghanas economy
IF YOU NPP PEOPLE HAD LEFT THAT MONEY IN THE NATION'S COFFERS, MAKING THIS PURCHASE IS NOTHING
NOW THAT TAX' PAYERS' MONIES ARE BEING USED FOR THE COUNTRY YOU WEAR COAT TO COME AND DO EXPOSE. ONE BULLET IN YOUR HEAD IS WHAT YOU NEED TO RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS. EMPTY FART.

What did Akuffo Addo that we don’t know?
Abu Jinapor is either a liar or simply dumb. I listened to his submission in Parliament, on the subject, and I really felt ashamed for him.
He was quoting figures in both cedis and dollars, and mixing it all up. He either di ...

Nonsense!
Was every Ghanaian rich when that your midget was wasting our money having showers in the sky?
So every government should continue that way. The past government failed the people so the current one should do the same. Where are we heading to? Hmmmmmmm Ghana.
KOKROKO aboa. Must we continue to make mistakes with your stupid EQUALIZATION arguments!
Please read the budget for yourself and comment on what you read not a write up.
Am surprised Ghanaweb published this news, Ghanaweb knew very well that when the former minister was asked to substantiate what he said he couldn’t . I Must be sure before l comment on any story you guys publish.
Fight Galamsey and stop the buyng spree.
Oh Oman Ghana, you are bleeding.
That's too much for two presidential jets and four helicopters. In US Dollars that's roughly $1.2 billion. How is the government going to come up with this money?
The embezzlement of taxpayers' money is unacceptable. At this critical time, with high unemployment rates, how can the government justify spending such an amount when citizens are suffering and can't even afford a meal each d ...

A typical presidential jet, the IL 96 M cost $46 million dollars, the Concorde cost $406 million dollars. It depends on what kind of presidential jet we want to buy, and the safety mechanism and the hospitality in its place. ...

YES WE SHOULD BUY THEM AND NPP CANNOT DO FOKO
This Abu guy....no nothing quoting dollars on the floor of the house to make a point where the figure was in cedis....just trying to mislead and make propaganda of serious issues....dumb ass
Don't mind the the disgraceful idiot.
Ghanaweb,we watched the proceeding in parliament.Abu Jinapor could substantiate his arguments, and so had to deviate into the military retooling of their strategic fleet, when infact he said that government was purchasing two ...

No wonder the Majority Leader asked him where he had his primary school education.
Ghanaweb jandam. The man said 1.2 billion dollars. The figure he argued with. But when his figure was questioned, he mentioned 13.1billion. No one knows where he is getting his figures because it is not in the 2026 budget....
His news conference was disingenuous. He said $1.2 billion for a presidential jet in parliament during his debate on the 2026 budget. He's now saying the expenditure is for 2026-2028. Even that is a lie because the line item ...

Listen to his submission well before commenting. He quoted the cedi rate to dollar, before coming out with that figure.
Why does this portal report something which has been expunged from the records?
At least they are using the money to buy something tangible that would help Ghana aviation. What exactly did your govt do with billions of money gone and not traced. It wasn't a 1 helicopter but 4 and 2 presidential jets. I b ...

No. We have just printed some secretly at the Bank of Ghana

It is not clear where the helicopters will go but I believe we shall have good uses for them. To buy 2 more presidential jets in addition to the present one I think is unwise. Mr president I think your love for buying aircraf ...

@Koo Boire/ Wo hó kankaen proper, proper! Was it your mother who confirmed the details to you, or your father? Stupid fool
Our financial coffers have become NDC gold mines mining our money to fill their pockets.This is new creat loot and share.
The financial coffers for you and who? Dirty dog! Have you seen anybody stupidly digging an empty hole with Ghanaian money anywhere
Make your point but don't recite that poem - 'teachers etc etc are suffering' - because you didn't recite it in your eight years when teachers etc etc were extremely suffering.
According to Ato Forson, the economic minister $31billion was unaccounted for, gone missing and now former economic minister has run away, the should get him arrested and take the huge amount of money from him to buy these ne ...

Dem say ibe 24 Our Ecomini.We all remember the 5 million dollar bribe John Dramani Mahama got from the other Ghana Armed Forces aircraft deal.I believe history will repeat itself.Eyer zu eyer za.Emefa miao miao.
Why is this even a debate? Upon all what we have seen when even Ayew Afreyie a brother to Omane Boamah said President Mahama should never fly on the old jet. When it’s obvious our military needs jet? The Abu Janipor is sick
Just shut up there, Daughter of a murderer proclaimer!
You Abu Jinapor should know better and stop spewing utterly stupid words including some of you foolish politicians. This same helicopters and aircraft is what ferries you around. One common sense you forget is that, these mac ...

Ghanaweb is publishing falsehoods, Jinapo was seen at parliament lying how can government buy two presidential jets at same time?, The npp is heavily wounded and they try think lying to the public will help them
NDC is too hypocrite.
Another criminal!

Wasn't this dis honourable mp in Ghana when the chimp faced president was flying in luxury private jet with Serwaa Broni in Ghana. Is the aircrafts you're complaining of be the property of the JM or the state of Ghana.
How many presidents do we have at any point in time to warrant two presidential jets? Ghana can't afford two presidential jets while we have one president and his Veep. If president travels, Veep is there and vice versa so wh ...

Mahama the useless thief and bribe man wants another bribe money from the manufacturers of these Aircraft Carriers just like he did with Airbus. Stealing is in his DNA
Madness. when we have record unemployment. This is Madness
The headline is absolutely misleading. The State is the entity buying, not President Mahama using his own money. Ghanaweb trying to sway public opinion to cause disaffection.
It saddens me when men who are supposedly educated and know better display gross ignorance in the name of politics.
