GHS49.7m South Africa evacuation fully accounted for, minority claims “baseless” – Majority Caucus on Foreign Affairs

13, GNA – The Majority Caucus of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Foreign Affairs has dismissed allegations that funds expended on the evacuation of 1,964 Ghanaian nationals from South Africa remain unaccounted for.

Dr Vanderpuijie, also the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Ablekuma South, said the Ministry also furnished the Committee with extensive financial documentation, including receipts for chartered flights, commercial airline tickets, transportation, feeding, accommodation and other logistics undertaken by Ghana’s High Commission in South Africa.

Vanderpuije said the Foreign Affairs Minister had on his own volition sought to brief the Committee after the evacuation, an engagement the “Minority side boycotted, only to resort to public allegations.
