"We sympathize with the families. They have lost their loved ones. Our condolences go to them", she mourned.
The Transport minister said after the investigations, the real cost of accident will be made known to the public.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, Air Commodore Kwame Mamphey described the accident as an isolated incident.
He assured that his outfit is doing its best to ensure air safety in the country.
"I can accept that when an issue like this happens, a lot of people would be worried and want to question safety issues.
"I want to assure our country men that we remain very safe," he stated.
He said the true cause of the accident would be investigated and made public.
