Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh The Minority in Parliament is demanding comprehensive documentary evidence to support the government’s reported expenditure of GH¢49.

Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, September 10, the Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Nana Asafo Adjei Ayeh, said the Minority was not seeking confidential information about the evacuees but documentation necessary to account for the use of public funds.

The government has described the evacuation as a voluntary exercise undertaken to assist Ghanaians affected by renewed xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
