We shouldn't open Ghana for "All kinds of insects" to enter. Proper screening should be done because mistakes of today, will have a lasting impact on us tomorrow, and the one who did that may be out of power.

This is no news Ablakwa. You can get your visa earlier than the 5 days depending on how fast you want it.

With the removal of visa requirement for all Africa Union members, by the Akufo Addo government, is it any news that the number of visa requests has dropped tremendously, hence, the 5-day turn around? The pincer teeth fairy could not even acknowledge and recommend the Akufo Addo government for his empty boasts. Shame!

Not that fast Ablakwa . Granting a visa in only five days is ridiculous. There are people with various backgrounds and characters who apply for visas and the authorities must check their backgrounds before granting the visa which will take more than five days . Why the rush Ablakwa. Do you know the investigations and background checks conducted on Ghanaians who apply for visas from other countries? Please do not make the acquisition of our visa so easy ? Ghana needs a reset but we should not rush it .

Who says Ghanaian visa takes 2 weeks? What about the same day service that is in place since time immemorial? In US it takes less than a week. The best thing is to change that sticker visa.

The government needs to collaborate with civil engineers to do a feasibility study to relocate the capital between Amansaman and Koforidua.

- Accra has a high density population.
- Accra is choked with traffic.
- Accra is filthy.
- Accra has high pollution. Too many airborne diseases.
- Accra is prone to earthquake.
- Accra is prone to flashfloods.

The government must exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire all this parcel of land to complete this project.

Ghana should have followed suite, right after Nigeria relocated its capital from Lagos to Abuja in the 90"s.

Senegal, Ivory Coast and Egypt have all relocated its capital city.

Government needs to set aside high budget for infrastructural upgrade and development. This a huge project, but it is worth it. This project needs to ne started within 2 to 5 years, irrespective of which party is in power.

The future is bright for Ghana.

God bless our homeland, Ghana.

Can you increase the 60 days stay given at the airport to 120 days,it will help with the tourists staying longer and the businesses making more profit.
Don’t take my word for it think about it Mr Minister.

I hope the NDC will be wise enough to present this man as the party's candidate for 2028. His choice will automatically seal any political ambitions of Bawumia and Kennedy Agyepong. I hope general mosquito is reading this.
