Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has debunked allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that recently landed at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

According to him, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, was peddling falsehood in a bid to undermine the confidence the people of Ghana have in the new National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government.

According to the Minister, indeed two aircrafts landed at the Kotoka International Airport for genuine reasons.

One of the aircrafts, operated by AirMed, landed at KIA due to technical issues involving damaged tyres on its landing gear; and Engineers were flown in on a separate aircraft to repair the damage, which accounted for the three-day stay at the airport.

With the Cavok flight, he explained that security officials at KIA inspected the aircraft when it landed with its cargo content been oil drills and oil stored in jerrycans.

“Don’t let anyone lie to you and shift the goal post when pressed for evidence”, he added.
