Executive Director of the Jatikay Centre for Human Security and Peace Building, Adib Saani, has called on the government to treat military aviation safety as a national security priority, warning that aviation failures involving senior state officials could threaten the continuity of government.
Mr Saani said the tragedy should provide an opportunity for Ghana to undertake a broader review of its military aviation safety protocols and introduce measures to minimise avoidable risks.
He urged the government to review protocols governing the movement of ministers, senior national security officials and other mission-essential personnel, particularly during major national events when demand for air travel is high.

He therefore urged relevant state institutions to ensure that lessons from the August 6 tragedy are translated into concrete improvements in Ghana's military aviation safety regime.
