A TV3 host Berla Mundi has clashed with the Communication Director for the Ministry of Education Kwesi Kwarteng over the amount of money spent on a private jet by the President of the Republic of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo when traveling outside the country.
The incident took place on Thursday, Jan 13 during TV3 New Day programme monitored by Apexnewsgh.com.
Discussing the death of a woman who died as a result of none availability of funds to buy fuel for the ambulance service which led to the death of the woman. Berla questioned why President Akufo-Addo should use $14,000 per hour to hire private jets when Ambulance services are struggling for fuel to execute their duties effectively.
But the Communication Director for the Ministry of Education Kwesi Kwarteng who also speaks for the government was not happy with Berla’s position as he questioned whether President should travel by ship. He went further to demand from Berla the category of flight he want the President to use while traveling for the country’s business.
Kwasi Kwarteng: Am not sure you are suggesting that probably the President should have used a ship to travel?
Berla: You cannot say the President cannot use a ship because that is an insult to Ghanaians. Berla reacted
However, on the subject matter, the husband of the late woman blames officials of the Service for exhibiting unprofessionalism whilst discharging their duties, leading to the death of his wife.
He has also accused them of demanding an amount of GH¢600 from him to buy fuel, a situation that delayed the transportation of his wife from the Holy Child Hospital in Takoradi to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
