Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said the NDC government is buying a $60 million presidential jet with a bathroom and kitchen to bath and eat in the air.
According to Miracles Aboagye, the NDC government is insensitive as young nurses and teachers remain unemployed at home, but the government is prioritising buying a presidential jet.

to travel like Arabian kings.
Our young nurses and teachers remain unemployed at home because the Government doesn’t prioritise them.
Insensitivity!!”
His comments come following Parliament approving 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.
Also, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, has fired shots at the John Mahama-led government over plans to purchase two jets.
According to Oppong Nkrumah, he was shocked that the Mahama government, which claims not to have fiscal space, now has space to buy two new executive jets.
He further questioned the government’s fiscal priorities, adding that the focus on new aircraft contradicts claims of fiscal discipline.
Oppong Nkrumah called on the NDC government to prioritise payments to contractors and other pressing domestic obligations.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, November 19, Oppong Nkrumah expressed his shock, “You say you don’t have fiscal space, you are doing fiscal discipline. So I was shocked to hear you say that now you have space to buy a new executive jet, two actually.
“You don’t have fiscal space to finish paying the contractors on outstanding projects, but you have fiscal space to buy two executive jets,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has called on the NDC government to render an unqualified apology to former President Akufo-Addo and the people of Ghana.
According to Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the NDC has a longstanding opposition to critical investments in the Ghana Armed Forces.
In a statement issued on Thursday, December 4, 2025, the Assin South MP stated, “Today, we NPP MPs in opposition — the Mighty Minority take the moral high ground to support the acquisition of aircraft for the Ghana Air Force,” he said.
“We will not politicise nor oppose what is right for the state and the Air Force.”
“We urge the NDC government to apologise to Ghanaians and President Akufo-Addo for opposing investment into the Air Force,” he added.
