The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has been summoned following reports of Ghanaians being deported from the United States, as reported by GhanaWeb.
This development has sparked concerns over diplomatic relations between Ghana and the U.S., as well as the circumstances surrounding the deportations.
According to reports, Ghanaian nationals were recently removed from the U.S. under unclear conditions, prompting calls for the government to provide explanations.
The exact number of deportees and the specific reasons behind their removal remain undisclosed.
However, this situation has led to discussions on the government’s role in protecting the rights of its citizens abroad.
The issue of deportation has been a recurring concern, with previous cases raising alarms about how Ghanaian authorities handle such matters.
Critics argue that the government must take a more active stance in ensuring the welfare of its citizens living in foreign countries.
This latest incident adds to the ongoing debate about migration policies and their impact on Ghanaians seeking opportunities abroad.
Meanwhile, the opposition has seized the opportunity to question the government’s handling of foreign relations and migration issues.
Some political analysts believe this situation could influence discussions ahead of the 2024 elections, as immigration policies continue to be a significant issue for Ghanaians at home and abroad.
Additionally, the Progressive Nationalist Party (PNP) Chair has criticized the Vice President for failing to ensure that 30% of cabinet appointments go to women.
The party argues that gender representation in leadership must be taken more seriously to promote inclusivity.
Meanwhile, former President John Mahama is set to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 27, where he is expected to address key national issues, including economic challenges and governance.
