Former Assistant Secretary at the Office of the former President, Nana Akufo-Addo, Ibrahim Adjei, has urged the government to maintain a firm and continuous crackdown on illegal foreign beggars in Ghana, stressing that one-off operations will not resolve the problem.
His comment follows a swoop by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), which resulted in the arrest of over 2000 undocumented foreign nationals begging on the streets of Accra.
In an interview on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Monday, May 19, he said the government must be unwavering in its resolve to enforce immigration laws and send a clear message that Ghana is not a haven for illegal migration. "The government has to be resolute.
Do not give up because they come back.
