The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to claims made by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, relative to the application and processing of visas.
On October 17, 2024, Okudzeto Ablakwa disclosed that he had intercepted contractual documents between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration and a company known as Access Citizens Services Ghana Limited.
According to him, the document shows that Access Services will handle all front-end visa applications for people seeking Ghanaian visas worldwide.
Ablakwa further raised concerns that Access Citizens is set to rake in about US$38.2 million between now and September 2028, while Ghana's Foreign Ministry would receive a mere US$2 million from that amount.
