Ghana trades in presidential jet
| ||
The government of Ghana says it has sold off a controversial presidential jet, bought for former President Jerry Rawlings in 1999.
The $5m raised for the Gulf Stream G111 will be used as a down payment on four Chinese jets for the military and a flight simulator, the government says.
The jet was an election issue in 2000, when President John Kufuor defeated the candidate of Mr Rawlings' party.
President Kufuor described the $16m jet as "wasteful and frivolous". He has always refused to travel in the plane. | ||
