    Boss! Don't you government is responsible for issuance of passports? Passport remains bona-fide property of the nation, so people can't blame me if things go wrong with issuance of passports.

  • Martin 8 years ago

    The president cannot be everywhere micromanaging every aspect of the government bureaucracy, hence the reason for appointing departments, etc. You should take the head of the passport office to task for the delay in issuance ...

    Ghana Embassies must do their job or there is no need to post these lazy Ambassadors overseas and waste the tax payers money to pay them. You cannot fix the fucking problem in three months?. We have a problem as a country.

  • Yaw Moshie 8 years ago

    This is one of ndc's plans to suppress opposition votes in the upcoming elections. The government wants to deny Ghanaians in the diaspora the opportunity to travel to Ghana to vote in November. They think most of this grou ...

    That's what happens when you've only one machine or one place for passport. Decentralized the passport office spread it across the nation.

  • anokwale 8 years ago

    In the interim they should issue temporary travel documents to the people in question. This is simple.

  • Disappointed Voltarian 8 years ago

    It is NDC's propaganda to disallow people they think are NPP sympathisers to fly to Ghana. Try and do mafia to the worker's.Thats all. Show your America's mafia intelligence else you people will remain there heaven comes!

  • Edwin - New York 8 years ago

    It has become clear to us in the US that the goverment of the NDC is behind the refusal and failure to issue new passports and renew old ones. What system is broken down that cannot be replaced or repaired in the US within mi ...
