Ablakwa challenges Minority to name evacuee denied GH¢5,500 allowance

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has challenged the Minority in Parliament to identify a Ghanaian evacuated from South Africa who did not receive the GH¢5,500 allowance, dismissing allegations of unaccounted funds as attempts to create a scandal. Mr Ablakwa said the evacuation exercise ended on September 4, 2026, and that he briefed the press three days later to account for the operation. He questioned claims that some people on the evacuation list could not be traced and that the funds allocated for the exercise had not been fully accounted for.
