McDan takes over Twitter after Airport boss sack

Some Ghanaians have been quick to take to social media in reaction to the sacking of the Managing Director of the Ghana Airport Company, Yaw Kwakwa.

The Minister for Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, in a letter has relieved Mr Kwakwa of his position on the directions of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Reasons for the sack remain unknown as the letter didn’t indicate it but a cross section of Ghanaians have linked the ousting to the recent suspension of operations of McDan.

According to some of the reactions, the decision by the president is directly linked to the decision by Mr Kwakwa to suspend McDan Aviation owned by Mr Daniel McKorley from operating its private jet lounge at the Airport.

The MD on January 28, 2022, directed McDan Aviation to postpone a planned inauguration of its private jet lounge citing breaches to regulations guiding operations at the airport.

Following a disregard by McDan Aviation, Mr Kwakwa in a subsequent letter directed McDan to suspend its operations at the airport.

While the issue remains a topic of discussion, the transport minister has announced the sacking of the MD.

Amidst claims of close ties between the president and Chief Executive of McDan Aviation, some Ghanaians reacting to the sacking of Mr Kwakwa have related the news to his interference in the operations of the private jet company.

So because McDan didn’t do whatever he was supposed to do, director gets sacked. I see

Nana Addo has terminated the contract of the Managing Director of Ghana Airport Company just because he shut down McDan’s private jet company.
