Alleged drug trafficking: You can’t accuse a gov’t and walk away when dust settles – Ama Pratt

Ama Pratt, Press Secretary and Spokesperson to the Vice President, has stated that you cannot accuse a government of money laundering and cocaine involvement and hope you’ll just walk out when the dust settles.

The recent controversy surrounding flights in Ghana has raised serious questions about possible cocaine trafficking and money laundering. Pratt has called for concrete evidence to support these claims.

The planes in question did land in Ghana, but their purpose is disputed. Companies involved say they were there to refuel and repair, not for medical purposes. However, concerns about potential illicit activities remain. “We’ve had it through the distance. It moved from point A to point B. I’m sure tomorrow, in the next expose, maybe three, he’s going to tell us that the pilot was wearing blue and not green,” Pratt added.

Pratt emphasized that proof of government involvement is needed. “When do we get to the evidence around the cocaine and the money laundering, which is what this issue is?” he asked. He also stressed the importance of accountability, particularly for those in power. “You cannot accuse a government of money laundering and being involved in cocaine and hope that when the dust settles, you will just walk out again under the lights and the cameras of TV stations,” Pratt said.

The Ghanaian government and investigative bodies must work together to uncover the truth behind these allegations. The people of Ghana deserve answers and transparency. Pratt’s statement highlights the need for accountability and the importance of thorough investigations. “Let’s get time for some responsibility. And who else should we demand responsibility from? But from people like members of parliament and ranking members,” he said.
