The Ghana Meteorological Agency says it is being compelled to carry out its earlier threat to close the Kotoka International Airport. In March this year the GMA threatened to secure a court order to close the airport due to non-payment of debts. XYZ Business has learnt that the debt of the Airport Company for the meteorological services has since exceeded 2 million Dollars. Captain Retired Stephen Komla, the Director-General of the Ghana Meteorological Agency in an interview said the Airport Company has failed to reply to any of their demands. �We have not had any feedback from the Airport Company�you write they don�t reply, there is simply no correspondence and negotiations between us. �It is very possible that we would end up in Court� Captain Retired Stephen Komla said. Captain Stephen Komla also disclosed that the Communications Ministry is amending the GMA Act to avert such impasse.
