Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, also known as Kwaku Azar, a legal scholar and governance advocate, has begged the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, to gift Ghana a jet.
In a Facebook post on December 6, 2025, Kwaku Azar appealed while reacting to President John Mahama’s touching down in Qatar to participate in the 2025 Doha Forum at the invitation of the Emir.
He noted the Emir of Qatar provided a plane to facilitate President Mahama’s arrival and urged Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to go a step further by donating the jet to the people of Ghana.
According to him, the executive jet would be seen as a symbol of a lasting partnership between our two nations if gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
Kwaku Azar in the post wrote, “The President touched down in Doha aboard a Qatar Airways Executive Jet graciously provided by the State of Qatar. He is in Doha to participate in the 2025 Doha Forum at the invitation of the Emir, H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
“GOGO expresses sincere appreciation to the Emir for both the invitation and the generous provision of the executive jet. And, in the spirit of warm friendship and South–South cooperation, GOGO gently encourages the Emir to consider going one step further: donating the very same executive jet to the good people of Ghana, who would receive it as a symbol of lasting partnership between our two nations,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, the parliament of Ghana has approved a Sixty Million, Six Hundred and Eighty Thousand United States Dollars (US$60,680,000.00) contract for the purchase of a Falcon 6X aircraft for the air force, videos have surfaced of the aircraft.
