The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa of orchestrating an alleged passport fraud scheme within the ministry, contradicting his claim that the operation began in 2023. The party's National Communications Director, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, stated that the scheme had been in place since 2023 and was facilitated by senior officials appointed by Ablakwa, including the Director of Passports Yahaya Amantana Mahama.
Aboagye disputed the timeline of events, pointing out that the officials accused of involvement were not in their roles during the alleged time period. He alleged that Mahama was not the Director of Passports in 2023, while Sumani was not even an employee of the Foreign Affairs Ministry at the time. Aboagye accused Ablakwa of appointing Mahama as Director of Passports despite his lack of qualifications and claimed that Mahama engaged travel agents Ibrahim Wale and Bright Owusu to issue passports in exchange for payments.
The NPP further challenged the minister's decision to identify Sumani as a key figure in the alleged operation, stating that Sumani was merely following instructions from his superior.
