Dr Okoe Boye defends private jets and calls for political accountability in Ghana

Dr Bernard Okoe Boye has shared his views on public criticism, business success, and political accountability. In recent comments, he explained why he avoids speaking against certain influential groups. He also weighed in on the debate around private jets and job creation in Ghana. Dr Okoe Boye stated that he rarely criticises imams, pastors, chiefs, traditional leaders, or business figures. He attributed this to his respect for their roles in society. He also noted that, as a businessman himself, he considers these groups part of his own community.

He made it clear that he sees no issue with Ibrahim Mahama owning two private jets—a Bombardier Global 5000 and a Dassault Falcon 7X. Instead, he praised Mahama for generating employment through his businesses. According to Dr Okoe Boye, constructive criticism should focus on solutions rather than blame. On political matters, he argued that the current NDC government should apologise to the previous administration. His reasoning was simple: if the NDC repeats actions they once criticised, an apology would be fair.

Dr Okoe Boye's remarks highlight his stance on respect, economic contributions, and political consistency. His comments suggest that accountability should apply equally to all leaders. The discussion around private wealth and job creation remains a key topic in Ghana's public debate.
