Chief Accountant at Department of Feeder Roads Ernest Adade Wiredu has expressed concern about the cocoa sacks used to carry the remains of his colleagues and the other victims of the Z-9 military helicopter crash.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Ernest Adade Wiredu expressed disappointment with the Military, stating that they are the most disciplined institution and should have seen to it that things were done the right way.
He suggests that even if body bags were not readily available, the Military could have secured the area and found the appropriate way of transporting the victims remains.
“Tears filled my eyes,” he said “These are statesmen, these are people who are working for the country.”
“They left in a V8, and the next time I see you on the screen is like this” he added.
