In a striking appeal to the government, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam, Hon. Isaac Foli Annoh-Dompreh, has urged President John Mahama and his officials to consider returning three of the state’s aircraft, framing the move as both a humanitarian gesture and a practical financial solution.
Speaking passionately during a parliamentary session yesterday, Hon. Annoh-Dompreh proposed that selling one of the aircraft could provide immediate relief to cocoa farmers, while the remaining two jets could remain in government hands, ensuring operational efficiency.
Members of the party have expressed concern that perceived favoritism or lapses in oversight could undermine public trust and tarnish the party’s image, especially as elections approach.
According to the loyalist, Muntaka’s actions or inactions have amplified frustrations among grassroots supporters who feel sidelined or marginalized by the recruitment process.
By calling for his sacking, the supporter is not only voicing personal dissatisfaction but also representing a broader sentiment among party activists who demand accountability and integrity from their leaders.
Political analysts note that this development reflects deeper fissures within the NDC, highlighting the challenges of balancing party loyalty with calls for transparency in sensitive government operations.
The debate has intensified discussions about the role of senior party figures in overseeing critical processes, particularly those that affect national security and public service staffing.
The loyalist’s remarks at Appiah Stadium have already sparked vigorous debate on social media and within party circles, with some members agreeing with the call for decisive action, while others urge restraint and due process.
Observers warn that if not managed carefully, internal disagreements over the recruitment exercise could have lasting implications for party unity and public perception.
As the NDC navigates this contentious period, the controversy surrounding Muntaka underscores the need for transparent governance, clear communication, and adherence to merit-based principles.
For many party members, the issue goes beyond individual personalities it is a test of the party’s ability to uphold its values while maintaining internal cohesion.
