The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has called on the Mahama-led administration to immediately initiate a transparent and non-partisan investigation into the alleged suspicious flights that have stirred public concern.
In a strongly worded statement, CDM urged both the National Security and Civil Aviation Authorities to release “all pertinent flight, cargo, and clearance documentation” to the public and to invite parliamentary oversight and, if necessary, international observers.
“Any whiff of complicity, silence, or obstruction risks painting Ghana as a permissive corridor for transnational criminal operations,” CDM warned.
“We must avoid any perception that could compromise investor confidence or damage diplomatic ties.”
The group further emphasised the constitutional role of Parliament in oversight, stressing that the truth—not political grandstanding—is what the nation deserves.
In a hard-hitting statement, the Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has warned that Ghana risks being labelled a “Cocaine Coast” if allegations surrounding suspicious international flights are not addressed swiftly and thoroughly.
CDM cautioned that lax oversight or the appearance of it could result in increased scrutiny of Ghanaian travellers and exports, a potential drop in investor confidence, and reputational damage on the international stage.
“Ghana must not become a permissive corridor for narcotics trafficking,” the group asserted.
“We advise the government to act decisively to protect the nation’s integrity.”
The CDM reiterated its call for full disclosure from the Civil Aviation Authority and National Security Secretariat, and for Parliament to conduct a transparent inquiry with support from international partners if necessary.

In an unexpected twist to the ongoing scandal, CDM has criticised the conduct of Presidential Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, describing his recent derogatory remarks towards Rev. Ntim Fordjour as “a stain on the dignity of the presidency.”
Mr. Ofosu had referred to Rev. Fordjour as a “clown” in a social media post, a move CDM says violates both Parliamentary ethics and public expectations.
“This behaviour brings the presidency into disrepute and undermines civil discourse,” the group stated.
Citing Article 57 of the 1992 Constitution, CDM reminded Mr. Ofosu that he represents the unity of the nation and must embody the values of humility and statesmanship.
“We respectfully urge President John Dramani Mahama to call his appointee to order and affirm that insults and misinformation shall not be tolerated,” CDM concluded.
