The Minister of Aviation, Mr Joseph Kofi Adda, has denied knowledge of any proposal by his outfit to cede the management of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to a private company.

However, he said his office was open for discussions that will help improve the asset of the country’s premier airport and other state facilities.

“First of all, I have not seen anything credible on the supposed privatisation of KIA, until I see that there is little I can say about it, ” Mr Adda told the media at a breakfast meeting by Aviation Ghana on April 16 in Accra.

The Minister was responding to a story circulating in the media space which quoted a draft memo to Cabinet suggesting the Ministry of Aviation intend to cede the management of KIA to a private company, Tav Airport Holding Company limited.

The management of KIA and other state facilities has been a major issue of concern to many Ghanaians with some expressing disgust at the poor manner in which those facilities have been managed.

But, Mr Adda denied knowledge of such move by his ministry to hand over the management of KIA to a private firm.

He said: “at the moment there is nothing like that on the table.”
