President John Mahama has recalled all diplomatic and service passports issued by the Akufo-Addo administration.
According to the Presidency, the decision is to verify and ensure their proper use, prevent misuse, and protect Ghana’s integrity.
The directive was announced in a statement issued by the President’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Callistus Mahama.
The Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has therefore been tasked to notify the diplomatic passport holders, set a deadline for their return, and conduct a thorough review of the documents.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been given until January 24 to complete the collection process.
Ghana’s diplomatic and service passports are issued solely for government officials and diplomatic personnel.
