Ablakwa insists all 1,000 Ghanaians evacuated from South Africa received Ghc5,500

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has dismissed claims that some Ghanaians evacuated from South Africa received less than the announced Ghc5,500 support package, insisting that his ministry has received no complaints about payment shortfalls.

He said all 1,000 beneficiaries on the evacuation list, including minors, received GH¢5,000 in reintegration support and Ghc500 for transportation.

“For more than four months since the evacuation commenced, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received a single complaint. We didn’t receive a complaint at the airport that an envelope has not been received or an amount is not up to the figure,” he said.

Speaking to the Ghanaian community in Ottawa, Canada, during an official working visit, Ablakwa questioned reports that at least three people contacted from the evacuation list had received Ghc2,000 instead of Ghc5,500.

Ablakwa described the package as unprecedented in Ghana’s evacuation exercises, noting that previous operations had not included similar reintegration support and transportation allowances.

Despite the criticism, he said he remained committed to protecting Ghanaians abroad.

“But I give you one assurance that despite all the vilification, I remain fully committed to the welfare, the protection of the dignity and the rights of Ghanaians. I am not discouraged at all,” he added.
