Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament For North Tongu and Ranking Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs has praised President Akufo Addo for the first time in many years.
The MP who has been on the toes of the president over his lavish travels for the past two years revealed in a post sight by Ghanaeducation.org that since he started tracking the President’s travel, the recent Ghana-Egypt-USA trip by President Nana Addo was on the low suggesting that he saved Ghana a lot of money.
The President did not travel in the usual luxurious, charted flight. Instead, he flew commercial during his entire itinerary and returned Friday night (11/11/2022) aboard British Airways flight BA81 at 8:57 pm.
According to Hon. Ablakwa, this is a testament that Ghana must be really broke to compel the President to opt for this means of travel. But he went on to plead with the President to continue with this new means of travelling.
“We all sincerely hope President Akufo-Addo will continue on this responsible path of saving the Ghanaian taxpayer millions of Cedis, especially when the IMF bailout arrives.” He stated in his post.

Ghana must be really broke.
Since we started our unimpeachable tracking of President Akufo-Addo’s condemnable oligarchic travels some 2 years ago, this has been the longest period he’s avoided €20,000-an-hour luxury jets.I can confirm that on his latest Ghana-Egypt-USA trip, the President flew commercial during his entire itinerary and returned Friday night (11/11/2022) aboard British Airways flight BA81 at 8:57pm.We all sincerely hope President Akufo-Addo will continue on this responsible path of saving the Ghanaian taxpayer millions of Cedis, especially when the IMF bailout arrives.
We shall keep tracking, for God and Country.
