The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declined a GH¢20 million contribution from MTN Ghana, intended for Ghanaian victims of recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The government informed the telecom company of its decision following a media report of the intended donation, which was alleged to have been disclosed in an interview with MTN Board Chairman, Dr. Ishmael Yamson.
While appreciating the gesture, the government respectfully declines the offer. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that the Mahama Administration has already adequately provided for the ongoing evacuation and reintegration of impacted Ghanaians, and it is therefore unable to accept the offer. The Ministry assured the public that it would present a complete breakdown of the total cost of evacuations once the process is completed, aiming for transparency and accountability.
The government reiterated its commitment to supporting the welfare of all Ghanaians, emphasizing the importance of creating a thriving business environment for all international companies operating in Ghana, regardless of their country of origin.
