Minority Vindicated: Independent checks confirm cocaine-linked flights came from Spain, not Angola

Independent checks have confirmed the Minority’s claims that two AirMed flights, at the centre of the cocaine saga, flew directly from Gran Canaria, Spain, to Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

This contradicts the statement made by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, who claimed that the flight originated from Luanda.

A statement issued by the Minority Caucus on the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament on Tuesday raised questions about the activity history of the Cavok flights referenced by the Minister, noting that investigations have not revealed any records of these flights arriving in the country on the specified dates.

The ranking member, Samuel Abu Jinapor, stated, “These and many other questions call for thorough investigations to uncover the mystery surrounding the movement of these flights.”

Diplomatic community
The Committee has called on the diplomatic community in Ghana to intervene in order to resolve the cocaine flight saga.

In a formal communication addressed to the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Maher Kheir, the Ambassador of Lebanon to Ghana, the Committee appealed to the ambassadors to use diplomatic channels to collaborate with Ghana’s security and intelligence community to unravel the complexities and controversies surrounding this issue.

Protecting MP
Additionally, the Committee emphasized the need to protect the independence of Ghana’s Parliament in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities.

Most importantly, they urged the envoys to ensure the safety of whistleblower John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, along with other Members of Parliament, as they carry out their duties.
