  "summary": "The Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has boycotted a closed-door meeting with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, over the government’s failure to provide a detailed account of the nearly GH¢50 million spent on the evacuation and reintegration of Ghanaians from South Africa. The meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, was to brief the committee on the evacuation exercise following xenophobic attacks. The Caucus demanded an itemised account and supporting documents covering the expenditure, citing their Right to Information Act request that was received by the Ministry on August 25, 2026.",
