Nana Trumu Galamsey Addo and his family keep robbing Ghana of its revenues, and then they will come and impose high taxes and nuisance taxes on the citizens. What will the embassy be doing if this NPP private company takes over visa processing? This is the only constant revenue for the Embassies, and now they want to rob that, too, after robbing SIC of its revenue.

Such infos are very conflicting.Ablakwa , you are an MP crowned with authority.Why don't you take immediate action in parliament to stop something like this, if you think it violates the procurement act? You could file a motion , or better go to court and stop that with an injuction or whatever.Coming to the public domain with such infos is really not helpful.Or if you think that will help you score political points , then i'm sorry , you are wrong.

@ Erroortorial Commission:

VERY GOOD INITIATIVE BY THE AKUFFO-ADDO ADMINISTRATION: THE ADMINISTRATION IS CLOSING ONE OF AVENUES NDC USED TO DUPE UNSUSPECTING GHANAIANS ABROAD.

MAHAMA AND HIS APPOINTEES USED REGULAR FUNERAL DONATIONS RECEIPTS IN NEW YORK BETWEEN 2009-2017. I HAVE A PROOF TO EXPOSE OKUDZETO ABLAKWA AND HIS BOSS!

The President is apt in his actions in that aspect. The President is actually trying to protect the Public purse. During the eight years of Mahama and Mills administration (2009-2016) I made more than 15 trips between New York and Accra. And all those trips the Visa’s that were issued to me by the Ghana Mission in New York had no official logo of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were all knock off receipts. And I will display some of these receipts for Ghanaians to see how wicked John Mahama and his appointees: even including how those who worked in the various missions outside Ghana ripped our country off! NDCfuo Akromfuo!

Zonda, that guy advertising his association with New York--the same guy who touts his Christianity on Ghanaweb every chance he gets-- is one of the biggest partisan, tribal-oriented people who frequently comment on Ghanaweb. He and those who think like him are partly responsible for Ghana's sorry state. They see everything through the lens of tribal politics, not what is good for Ghana.

So, he has incontrovertible proof of corruption in the Mahama's administration, and he didn't send it to Bawumia's and Akuffo Addo's team for prosecution? Wouldn't this even help Bawumia?

This Stephen Donkor doesn't have the capability to understand that his NPP is as corrupt as the NDC he eschews, if not more so.

May God unleash a military takeover on the country to rid us of these NPP/NDC thieves.

Granted your allegations are true, is the way to address that giving away/dashing over $38 million of the Ghanaian taxpayer revenue to a private NPP company and Ghana gets a miserable 3%? Don't forget VISA issuing is already being done by the embassy so why take that away to give to a private company so that Ghana will not have to fork new revenue to pay our foreign mission employees? This is CRIMINAL and pure robbery of the Ghanaian purse, why do DDEP when you have this money?? The SSNIT Hotel hostile takeover and the SML (Smell) robbing GRA, Ken Ofori Atta's Enterprise Insurance robbing SIC or revenue are not good, that is not how you build a country

@ Errectoral Commission.

NDC KNUCKLEHEADS! THE ACTUAL FEE GHANA MISSION CHARGES FOR SINGLE ENTRY VISA IN NEW YORK IS $ 120. ACCORDING WHAT I PAID THE LAST TIME.

MULTIPLE ENTRY VISA IS TWICE THAT AMOUNT. SO EVEN IF THE GOVERNMENT SUBCONTRACTS THE PROCESSING SECTION TO THAT COMPANY IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE ACTUAL REVENUE OUR GOVERNMENT GENERATES THROUGH VISA APPLICATIONS. IT WILL ALSO MAKE IT EASIER FOR STAKE HOLDERS TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH REVENUE WE GET THROUGH THE VISA ISSUANCES. UNLIKE THE STATUS QUO MAHAMA USED TO KEEP OUR REVENUE WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY!

Morons! the amount that moron Okudzeto Ablakwa mentioned is just the processing fee that the company would charge for processing individual visas to Ghana. That amount excludes the actual Visa fee that goes directly to the government of Ghana. This Initiative is very apt because it will make it easier for the government of Ghana and the various stake holders to track exactly how was paid to the government of Ghana as revenue. Unlike the current system where no one can exactly track the exact amount our foreign missions render accounts for.

Purely akyem mafia State capture agyapadie sheme on display. They did the same with SML, Hubtel, Frontiers, Enterprise Insurance etc. These are all NPP companies linked to the akyem mafia as a vehicle to loot State funds. These NPP guys led by Akufo Addo are looting even into the future. This is sickning. Remember they tried PDS and Egyapa but failed. They are not leaving no atone unturned which requires the citizens action against these criminals.

Tanzania and Kenya process all their visas fron their countries using civil servants. The VISAS are granted in less than 3 days. In most cases 24 hours. Why can't Ghana learn from them? Akufo Addo is one gargantuan THIEF.

He does not take his time before coming out with information. A lot of times he comes out with untruths or half baked truths but once he has Randy Abbey allowing him he continues with his diabolical activities.

He has an ambitious agenda and must be watched closely by ndc. How much money has he been paying for such sensitive information and where does he get the money to fund such self arrogated investigative work.

At least we know from Ken Agyapong that it costs huge amounts of money before coming into contact with such secretive information. He even cried publicly over it.

Fellow Ghanaians, the current state of Ghana and our governance system is not going to succeed as a people together but rather only few politicians are going to benefit from the system we are currently running. The politicians are outsourcing everything Ghanaian to their cronies at the detriment of we the larger populace. Common visa issuance too we can't do it unless we get private people to do it. We should close down all the embassies if they can't do this simple task.
