Big Shake-Up Coming at Passport Office – Professor Gyampo Vows to Clean House After Leaked Documents

A big shake-up is coming at Ghana’s passport office, and Professor Ransford Gyampo says he is ready to clean house. According to him, leaked documents have exposed an alleged illegal scheme involving the issuance of service passports, and the scandal has now drawn in North Tongu MP Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa. The professor says the rot in the system will not be allowed to continue, and changes are on the way.

In a post shared online, Professor Gyampo did not mince words. He described the people behind the mess as a group of corrupt individuals who left their allies behind in the public service to keep doing wrong things and leaking information to score cheap political points. In his view, the leaks are not about truth or justice, but about using state information for political gain that benefits no one.

But rather than just complain, Professor Gyampo says the current mess is an opportunity to reset the system. He promised a massive staff shake-up, meaning many people working in the passport office could be moved or replaced. His message is that the clean-up will not be business as usual, and those found to be involved in corrupt practices should expect to face the consequences.

The allegation against Okudjeto Ablakwa is a serious one, and it has quickly become a hot topic in Ghana’s political space. The MP has not yet responded publicly in the post you shared, and it is important to note that these are allegations, not proven facts. For now, the public is waiting to see whether the promised investigation and shake-up will actually happen, or whether this will end as another political shouting match.

For ordinary Ghanaians, the message is simple: passports are important documents, and any illegal scheme around them is a threat to national security and public trust. Professor Gyampo’s promise to “reset the system” will only mean something if real action follows.
