You are right, ambassador. There are no freebies for your stupid choices. Family has to pay.
How could you support such a silly statement from this ambassador?They can be transported back to Ghana and the cost of their air fares surcharge to them or family.A civilized country don't treat its citizens this way?
Those stowaways are in no financial position to reimburse the government for their airfares, should the government decide to send them back. If they could, they wouldn't have been in this predicament in the first place. I wou ...

Ghana has become very unattractive. It is unbelievable that airfare cannot be paid for three people from Angola to Ghana, but can be afforded for hundreds of NDC supporters to Brazil and back? WHAT A COUNTRY?
What you fail to understand is that money was budgeted to ferry those supporters to Brazil. In the case of the stowaways, the Embassy in Angola does not have money for the kind of situation the stowaways find themselves in. T ...

Would it cost The government 1-million US dollars to bring these innocently naive poor boys back home to Ghana? The callous NDC government should act now to bring these poor guys to Ghana. I don't think this Ambassador would ...

They are still in Africa, why can't they stay if they choose to? So you see how kind and tolerant US is? They treat people better than their own people would treat them. Africa is indeed the dark continent. They are lucky the ...

Every passport holder has guarantors. Let the guarantors pay
If you had followed the story you would not have rebutted the statement made by the ambassador. These guys were able to pay about $1000 each to a connection man to put them on the vessel so they should be made to pay their ow ...

I don't support stowaways but the government should pay for them to get back home,we waste money on unnecessary things,we just wasted thousands of dollars to send some so called celebrities to America to attend Ghanafest in C ...

They made a mistake but they ghanaians the embassy should by the tickets for them
If you are bringing them home so their families can pay for it before they are released, I support the idea.
Incompetent bastards.You can't even wipe your ass,how can you help the needy.I just pity those who still expects anything from this government.
I'm not surprised to hear this from a fool.
The government should bring them to Ghana and release them to their families after they pay the cost of transportation
Ambassadors, Boards of Banks, Directors, ministers, etc etc. is Bukari, Damba, Atonga, Atinga, Yaro, Ayariga, Fuseini, Mohammed, Zintim, etc. Are we surprised the country has collapsed? To the Ayigbe, Fantis and BA people, wh ...

Why should Government pay for the ticket?
they entered the country illegal, let them go and work to earn some money for their return
flight. Fools!!
In ur mind does it mean those tribes u mentioned are not fit to rule GH? By the way how is the NPP going to treat Bawumia? As a pepeni or akan?
Often Politician, civil servants, Medical Doctors stowaways etc are all stealing from the innocent Ghanaian directly or indirectly. Ambassador is right let the families pay for their return from the "new America"
Let the thief and crook politicians Ken Agyepong,Woyomi etc put their hands into their pockets and fly them home.
Togbui, agoooooo.
Please the people you mentioned ,are they Ghanaians? You are very idiot.
You will continue to sit on the pontoon during mahamas reign, continued to be promised that it is now your turn for development that never comes, under developed, in your stupidity. Do you want me to reming you of the promise ...

Although this guys are wrong in stowing away, they are lucky to be alive. They are Ghanaians , the ambassador should see to it that, he flies them back home for further necessary actions.
Your ignorance baffles me. Where is the ambassador going to find money to pay for their tickets back home. In civilized societies, governments deal with budgeted funds and if there are no funds budgeted for these unforeseen e ...

The word is "erred "
This is the most sensible comment I have read here. Mr ambassador, pay for their air thicket or keep them in your consulate.
THEY SHOULD RATHER SEARCH FOR MARITIME RULES AND REGULATIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL LEVEL,IS THE WAYS,THE VESSEL THREW THEM INTO WATER,AND SHIP AUTHORITIES MUST ANSWER FOR THEIR EVERYTHING,EVEN,THEY SHOULD CONPENSATES THEM
Often Politician, civil servants, Medical Doctors and stowaways are all stealing from the innocent Ghanaian directly or indirectly. Ambassador is right let the families pay for their return from the new america.
IF THIS HONOURABLE HAS NAME OF THE VESSEL,THEN,WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR,THE FOUR GUYS HAVE WON LOTTERY,HE SHOULD HAVE CONSULTS SOME HARBOUR MASTER,FOR MORE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THIS,SHIPPING MOVEMENT
My friend, let sleeping dogs lie. The stow-aways committed the crime of illegally boarding their ship. They were very lucky that the personnel of the ship had mercy on them and gave them a raft to safely get ashore. Secondly ...

Kwasiaa ambassador. Your head is pure African head. You are a big disgrace if you can buy ticket for those poor guys to get back home.
What a shame, government can afford 2 cross country vehicles for ministers but cannot afford air tickets to bring her citizens home.
