Media personality Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has cautioned President John Dramani Mahama over the actions of his Minister of Foreign Affairs, , accusing him of potentially damaging the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
According to Afrifa-Mensah, Ablakwa's posture on the international stage could have dire consequences for Ghana, and he therefore advised Mahama to relieve the minister of his post.
His comments follow the United States government's recent revision of its visa reciprocity policy for Ghana, which has seen a significant reduction in both the validity period and the number of entries permitted for most non-immigrant visa categories.
Under the updated guidelines issued by the US Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ghanaian nationals applying for business and tourism visas (B-class) will now be issued single-entry visas valid for just three months.
