Janet Nabla, the 2024 presidential candidate of the People's National Party (PNP), has joined other calls for transparency regarding the government's expenditure on evacuating Ghanaians from South Africa. She insists that the GH¢49.7 million used for the evacuation was funded by taxpayers and not the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party dues.
Nabla argues that the public deserves a full account of how the funds were spent and has questioned the government's decision to reject a GH¢20 million donation from MTN towards the response to the xenophobic attacks. She believes that the 20 million could have benefited Ghanaians, especially concerning the challenges in the education sector.
Nabla also pointed out South Africa's approach to evacuating its citizens, suggesting that Ghana could have followed a similar method. The government's decision to reject the MTN donation and spend a larger amount of public money on the evacuation has come under scrutiny, with Parliament demanding a detailed breakdown of the costs.
