This new passport from further reading says it is a requirement by ICAO for countries to upgrade to it - chip embedded. So if this is like moving from iPhone 8 to iPhone 15 Pro max then the price have to increase to deliver all the security features. Besides, a passport is a onetime purchase for 5 - 10 years validity. Not like transport fares or other services

THIS ASTRONOMICAL INCREASE FOR WHAT REASONS? YOU CAN'T MAKE THE KITCHEN HOT AND EXPECT THE HOUSEHOLD TO REMAIN IN IT. LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL STILL FIND MONEY TO PAY FOR THE PASSPORTS.

Most of the youth don't see a future in Ghana.
The wicked leaders are concerned about LGBTQ laws when basic electricity cannot be provided by the government.

Stop using Ghanaians for business. Looting of state resources is illegal. Why should our passport cost that much? Last year the same woman said it would cost 500 GH Cedis. Why are you increasing 144 GH Cedis to the old one you proposed. Even we were protesting against it. Ghanaians, keep quiet and this government will finish you!

You claim it costs 400 to print the books. So any passport application put in, where 100 cedis is paid, the state adds 300 cedis.

How true is this? When after all this while Government over the years kept doing this. We no bore.
So logically, if Government is not willing to add to it again, we should be asked to pay 400 cedis for the passport. Why are you charging 500 cedis for 32 pages and 644 for 48 pages?
The camels back is finally broken, and I can tell you that, all this is a rip off for campaign. Since you know you are not coming back any longer till they kingdom come. I am.sorry, not that the alternative is any better , but enough is enough.

Search online to see how much passports cost in other countries. Passports are printed by international specialised companies the same way our currency is not printed by just anybody.

So our government seeks to make over 50% profit in issuing passports to its citizens.. If it costs the government 400 cedis to generate one passport but charges citizens 244 cedis more than production costs then it's no longer supplying public goods... it's a profit-making service.

As for this, I support the Npp Govt..don’t pay attention to any fools making noise on social media..it’s not mandatory for a Ghanaian to get a passport but if u want to get one, then be ready to bear the cost..the average Ghanaian will complain about everything in their country but will be mute when they travel.this is long overdue..Same dumb and idiotic Ghanaians will be mute when an embassy ask them to pay $10,000 visa application fee which the visa is not even guaranteed..sometimes I wonder how the average Ghanaian think..Piaww, if u cannot afford common 1000 cedis passport, then u are not ready to travel..Npp this is good move..Ghana passport is too cheap..it’s better to pay for more and get fast and easy access to passport than to pay less and be delayed in the process..I repeat the Ghanaian passport fee was too cheap and am glad the fee has been increased..A country that will complain and talk about everything..good job to the foreign affairs ministry..traveling is not for cheap and broke people..if u are ready to travel, then be ready to bear the cost
