RENAMING KOTOKA AIRPORT IS USELESS AND WASTE OF TAXPAYER’S MONEY — MP for Old Tafo, Hon. Ekow Vincent Assafuah

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has strongly criticised the government’s decision to rename Kotoka International Airport, describing the move as unnecessary and a waste of public funds.

The announcement was made during a leadership media briefing ahead of the resumption of the Ninth Parliament on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.

Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, disclosed that the change would be effected through legislation to be laid before Parliament by the Minister for Transport.

“We are changing the name of our airport from Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport. A bill will be brought by the Minister for Transport for the name to be changed,” he said.
