Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has criticised the Minority’s handling of concerns over the South Africa evacuation expenditure, saying its actions have damaged his reputation and the image of his ministry.
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has accused the Minority of attempting to tarnish his reputation and the image of his ministry in response to concerns over the South Africa evacuation expenditure. In an interview on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Ablakwa expressed disappointment in the Minority's approach, stating that their haste to discredit the ministry was unfair and damaging.
He emphasized that the Ministry has accounted for the full amount of GH¢49,721,786 spent on evacuating 1,964 Ghanaians from South Africa, and that no funds were missing. The Minority, through Ranking Member of Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, requested an audit into perceived expenditure anomalies, but Ablakwa maintains that the Minority's handling of the matter has already caused reputational damage.
