The Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has denied allegations made by Rev Ntim Fordjour, describing them as "comical" and "a waste of time".
This comes after the Minority in Parliament demanded full disclosure from National Security regarding two flights that landed in Ghana in early March and departed for Gran Canaria, a Spanish island, on March 25.
The flights—an air ambulance and a private jet—allegedly remained in the country for several days before their departure, raising concerns over their purpose and cargo.
Speaking in an interview with Asempa FM's Ekosiisen show on Friday, April 4, Mr Ofosu asserted that Fordjour’s claims lacked any factual evidence and accused him of misleading the public.
"I have good relations with him; he is my neighbour, but on this issue, he knows what he is saying is a lie, and he is wasting our time," Ofosu remarked, referring to Rev Ntim Fordjour.
The Minister firmly dismissed the allegations, stressing that Fordjour "doesn’t have a shred of evidence" to support his claims. “I am daring him to provide it in your studio,” Ofosu said.
He added, “If he has any evidence, let him present it right now before you go on.”
He continued by emphasising that Rev Ntim Fordjour’s accusations were entirely baseless.
"I am telling you point-blank, he has no evidence for what he is saying," Mr Ofosu asserted.
“With the greatest respect to my friend, it is comical, and we should not be wasting time like that.”
The Minister further clarified that the issue Rev Fordjour had raised was backed by substantial evidence, stating, "There are videos and pictures of the aircraft’s landing gear," thus reinforcing the credibility of the information at hand.
