The Minister of Finance (MoH), Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, has told Parliament that the “best place” to furnish the House with details on the cost of the President’s recent official travels outside the country is the office of National Security.
He said due to the national security implications, the air travel for the President, including the cost for the advance team, flight arrangements, security, accommodation, and air tickets, are coordinated operationally between the Office of Government Machinery and National Security Secretariat.
He said in line with the 2021 budget implementation instructions, the MoF did not release any funds to the Chief of Staff specifically for the President’s recent trips to France, Belgium and South Africa.
