U must be sick in ur head, if u think u can't stop scamming our people in the name of a visa pls pack ur things and leave, simple. This is our country and this our rules and regulations, if u refuse them visas u must refund their money, why do u take someones money and deny him a visa again? Imagine if we Africans do that they will label us as scammers

This guy is not intellectually deep. The problem as you yourself say is unemployment. How does visa reduction fix the problem.? And who says a reduction in fee will lead to increased. Visa issuance?

I am not a member of NDC but this guy is making sense. He said he will work with the minister to review the visa process where when an applicant is unsuccessful of the visa the embassy takes all the money. They will review it to make sure the visa fees becomes refundable when the applicant is unsuccessful.

@Ashley, whether he lived in the USA or CANADA, he spent his productive life outside Ghana, that is the point. He paid this high visa fee without complaining as a TOURIST but decided to violate the tourist visa. Why is he now complaining. The high visa fees are as a result of our refusal to return home. He should rather stop his people from going to the embassies for their visas period!

Hmm but l enjoyed his vetting process. He was Frank and straight forward with his answers, as usual Hon. Afenyo Markings was at his best, trying to dribble his Uncle or a man grown to be his father.
But the old man was smarter than him , imagine requesting him to recite the national anthem and to explain the features of the coat of arms? The issue is how many current MPs, Ministers if State and government appointees can do that successfully?

John Mahama cannot find any qualified Ghanaian out of 30 million to represent the country abroad. Ablakwah the Togolese is our foreign minister, Kojo Chio the Korean is our ambassador, the igbo King will soon be our ambassador to Nigeria, Yammin the Kumasi Albino will be our Ambassador to Yemen? Can you blame him? Once upon a time, a certain Scottish was president of Ghana

Every drop of our income is needed for our nation's growth so all the loop holes must be sealed. He is right.

Per my calculation above, $76,000 will go to waste for failure of VISA

Which is currently equivalent to GHC 912,000 and that can help boost the economy if channelled towards some social intervention projects.

Many of those against this have not even applied for VISA in their entire existence but, they will kick against this for reasons best known to them. They will never bring any food for thought to the table but are the best to criticism.
