The Minority in Parliament has announced plans to petition the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over alleged conflict-of-interest concerns involving President John Dramani Mahama.
The move follows claims that the President’s continued use of a private jet owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, raises constitutional and ethical questions that could undermine public confidence in the presidency.

Addressing a press conference, Minority Spokesperson on Lands and Natural Resources, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, disclosed that the caucus is engaging civil society organisations, professional bodies, and other stakeholders to file a joint petition before CHRAJ.
“The Minority is formally considering a joint petition with civil society organisations, professional bodies, and concerned citizens… on both the private jet arrangements and the Damang mine process as two manifestations of the same constitutional breach,” he stated.
Mr Ampratwum-Sarpong argued that the President must immediately discontinue the use of the aircraft for official duties, particularly in situations where companies linked to Ibrahim Mahama are engaged in or pursuing government contracts or concessions.
“On the private jet, the President must immediately cease using his brother’s aircraft for official travel, for as long as Ibrahim Mahama’s companies hold, seek, or are in negotiation for any state contract, concession, or mineral rights,” he emphasised.
He further called for full transparency from the presidency, urging authorities to disclose detailed records of all such travel arrangements.
“The presidency must publish a full accounting of all travel on Ibrahim Mahama’s aircraft since January 2025, including dates, destinations, total cost borne by the state, and the estimated market value of services provided without charge,” he added.
The Minority maintains that the issues surrounding the private jet usage and the Damang mine process point to broader concerns about adherence to constitutional provisions on conflict of interest and governance.
