The Minority in Ghana's Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee has not accused Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa of wrongdoing in the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, according to Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Ranking Member of the committee. The committee is seeking an audit to clarify anomalies identified in the expenditure, rather than accusing the minister of misconduct.
Jinapor stated that the discrepancies in the accounts provided by the ministry require further scrutiny, but this does not imply any wrongdoing. The evacuation of 1,964 Ghanian nationals from South Africa between May 27 and September 4, 2026, was prompted by renewed xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals in the country. The ministry's total expenditure for the evacuation was reported at GH¢49,721,786.
