Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee, has accused the government of intentionally concealing information and avoiding accountability regarding his claims about suspicious flights and other sensitive incidents.
In a statement, Fordjour refuted government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu’s assertion that he had been invited by security agencies for questioning but failed to cooperate.
He challenged Ofosu to provide evidence of such an invitation, stating, “No security or intelligence agency has ever invited me.”
Fordjour also alleged that his request for a Joint Security briefing, intended to provide Parliament with updates on ongoing investigations, was blocked by the NDC Parliamentary Caucus and the government. “What are they hiding?” he questioned.
He dismissed the government’s explanations regarding the entry and departure of two suspicious flights as “incoherent, questionable, and cannot be taken seriously.”
Additionally, Fordjour criticized the government’s silence on the status of 12 containers of gold and currency seized by National Security on February 9th, and the lack of progress in investigations into $500 million cocaine busts.
He expressed concern that Ghana could become a hub for illicit activities such as cocaine trafficking and money laundering, asserting, “Our country cannot be allowed to be suddenly turned into a hub for cocaine and money laundering. They must come again.”
