Abass Nurudeen accuses Minority of ‘scandal scavenging’ over World Cup visa controversy
Mr Nurudeen disputed Mr Assafuah’s claim that the Sports Ministry sought to use its influence at the US Embassy to secure visas for people allegedly misrepresented as NSA staff.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Social Investment Fund, Abass Nurudeen, has accused the Minority in Parliament of exploiting the visa controversy surrounding Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to score political points, describing its approach as that of a “scandalous” opposition.
He also cited a chronology of engagements which, he said, indicated that the US Embassy had engaged agencies under the Sports Ministry before formal correspondence on visa processing.
