Minority demands independent probe into fatal Tema microlight crash
The Minority in Parliament has launched a formal call for a sweeping review of aviation safety protocols following the tragic microlight aircraft crash in Tema. The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin demanded an independent and time-bound investigation to uncover potential regulatory lapses on Thursday, 19th March. Mr. Afenyo-Markin queried during his submission on the floor of Parliament, "How was a privately owned microlight aircraft allowed to operate over a densely populated corridor with such devastating consequences?"
The opposition is calling for a transparent process that goes beyond a standard internal review. The Minority insists that the final report must detail the cause of the crash, certification lapses, maintenance logs, and corrective measures. The victims were identified as the sons of the founder of the Hebron Prayer Camp. They were en route from Ho to Accra on Monday, 16th March 2026, when their private craft went down in a densely populated urban corridor.
The Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIB) has moved to reassure the public of its technical expertise. The AIB maintained that it possesses the necessary international-standard capacity to lead the probe. The crash site in Tema remains under surveillance as investigators sift through the debris.
