    400% increase

  • Akosua Boateng Yeboah 1 month ago

    Whether it is 400% or 500%, isn't that too much? Even if the new GHc500 is the recovery cost for a passport, a sensitive government, knowing that Ghanaians' economic situation is not good, will not impose the increase one-tim ...

    Was Okudzato Ablakwa not in Parliament when Parliament approved what he terms astronomical increase in passport fees? Why couldn't he oppose it but comes out to make noise?

  • Huckenburg 1 month ago

    He did but he couldn't have done it alone. He argued for a progressive increment over a period of time but to no avail

    Why should the government subsidise the cost of getting a passport in Ghana? No wonder the country is broke. Passport acquisition is not obligatory and whoever applies for one must pay for the full cost.

    To have them 'start' working on it early, you'll need to pay 'THE ACTUAL PRICE'. Otherwise, your 'unborn children will the ones collecting it on your behalf'.
