more worse things happen over there.I paid extra 700 cedis for my passport and that of my child,even that,it took two weeks.
The whole workers there, from top to bottom including the directors are corrupt. Each person at the passport office targets building a mansion of his own by fleecing on gullible clients. Unless Anas Aremeyaw intervene to expo ...

I don't think Issuing of Passports in Ghana should be a problem at all, if the government or those in charge will be very honest and take my free advise. The system should be the following: Step (1) The Government should get ...

Everything is "bassa" in our country. Some times you think whether there is a government at all in charge of anything except protecting its own power of being in office. Comparing ourselves to other countries, you feel ashame ...

what's the minister doing about this? Is he in the deal?
corruption from head to toe
The worse part of this is to put a member of the most corrupt family in Ghana, an Ahwoi in charge of the Ministry of Interior and therefore 'supervising' the passport office.
It seems that the only reason the NDC fought to ...

The Passport Office has been a canker ever since I was born and therefore doubt if matters can change for the better.
Who knows the Big Guns are involved in the deals over there. Chop Chop everywhere in Ghana!
That is why Nigerians crooks are able to procure Ghana's passport. NDC government burnt on destroying Ghana.
my brother forget about it. that will not work. AFRICA IS LIKE ZOO NO LAWS.MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.
True Ghanaian, you have just created more bribe takers than it exist now. Every stage of your suggestions require a bribe taker. even the cashiers at the banks collecting the passport form fees will take bribe. the village ch ...

What is even worse, is the fact,that most applying for a passport will NEVER meet the standard of application to get approval for the country they are applying to.
So, the majority are wasting monies trying.
WE have been repeating to President Mahama to keep firing people until he observe a tendency to change by administrators. As at now, everything looks pretty immutable so WE ARE FIRMLY ASKING THE PRESIDENT, not only TO START S ...

The Goro boys were also at the AIRPORT. Where are they now? Something dratically must be done to do away with such practices and unfortunately it is done to loyal Ghanaian citizens
It is the passport applicants that are to be blamed. They give the bribe. They create the urgency in which they need the passport and want to bypass the laid down rules for the acquisition of passports.
People are posses ...
