NPP demands public inquiry into alleged $600,000 World Cup visa fraud, wants Sports Minister, GTA CEO summoned
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has demanded a public inquiry into allegations that more than US$600,000 was collected from individuals seeking visa and travel assistance for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the Presidency to provide clarity on the employment status of National Sports Authority (NSA) Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, amid conflicting reports about his dismissal or suspension following a visa scandal linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The party's Director of Communications, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, emphasized that Ghanaians need an official explanation regarding the decision, including the conditions under which any suspension or dismissal was carried out.
Aboagye pointed out that the action against Mr. Ampofo Ankrah came only after public outcry and pressure from the Minority in Parliament, suggesting that the timing raises questions about the government's commitment to accountability and transparency.
