Okudzeto Ablakwa Moves To Address Alleged Service Passport Sale – Ghanaians React

The Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has moved to address issues surrounding the alleged sale of service passports, according to a report by TV3 Ghana on November 4th, 2026.

The report quotes Bernard Bediako, Member of Parliament for Akwatia, who clarified that the individual involved in the matter is an employee of the Ministry. He confirmed that the Foreign Affairs Minister has taken steps to address the issue.

The allegation has sparked wide discussion on social media, with many Ghanaians sharing their views on the development.

Some commenters expressed surprise that the allegation turned out to be true, since they had expected it to be dismissed. A number of people questioned the earlier position that there was no evidence, noting that the confirmation now appears to contradict what was said before. Others pointed to reports that MPs were removed from the parliamentary chamber for raising the matter on the floor of the House, and they felt the latest acknowledgement vindicated those lawmakers.

Another group of Ghanaians defended the Minister. They argued that the employee was interdicted as soon as his conduct was discovered, so that a proper investigation could begin. According to this view, the opposition has no case, because the Ministry itself identified the problem and acted on it. It was also noted that the issue only became public about two weeks after the incident, when someone from within the Ministry brought it to light.

Some commenters raised wider concerns about public institutions, asking whether other state services have also been exposed to similar sales of slots. A few others took a lighter tone, teasing a particular supporter for defending the government in every situation.

Overall, reactions remain divided between those who see the Minister’s action as responsible leadership and those who believe the matter raises serious questions about transparency and accountability.

As the Minister’s steps continue, Ghanaians are expected to follow developments closely.
