The Attorney-General has confirmed to the Supreme Court that Kotoka International Airport will retain its current legal name until Ghana's Parliament approves a renaming bill. The case was brought by Austin Kwabena Brako-Powers, who argues the government's decision to rename the airport without first amending a 1969 decree is unconstitutional.
