The Minority Chief Whip of Parliament, , has reacted to a statement by the Ghana Immigration Service suggesting that he lied about the cost of the e-gate at Terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport.
The service, in the said statement, which was issued on Thursday, December 19, 2024, refuted claims that the recently commissioned electronic gates (e-gate) at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) cost the nation $240m.
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) stated emphatically that the installed E-gates at the KIA cost the nation $1.7m and not $240m as claimed.
The statement further explained that the GIS is implementing a new integrated border management system known as the "Immigration 360," at all of the nation's entry points, and seized the opportunity to present in detail, various components and costs of the integrated border management system, which has the installation of the E-gates as a component of the system.
