7000 of them are currently at different stages of the deportation process

US to deport 7000 Ghanaians – Ambassador
The Trump administration in America is set to
deport seven thousand Ghanaians who have abused
the terms of their Visas.

The Ghanaians are currently at different stages of
the deportation process, the US ambassador to
Ghana Robert Jackson has revealed.

“In fact about 7000 of them are currently at
different stages of the deportation process. And
we are not apologetic about that,” he told the
Ghanaian media in the Brong Ahafo region
Thursday.

The disclosure comes barely 24hours after the UK
High Commission in Ghana fingered three sitting
members of Ghana’s parliament and a former one
for breaching UK visa policies.

They are Richard Acheampong, NDC MP for Bia East
in the Western region NDC, Joseph Benhazin Dahah,
NPP MP for Ntotroso in the Bono Ahafo region,
Johnson Kwaku Adu, NPP MP for Ahafo Ano South West
in the Ashanti region and George Boakye, former MP
for Asunafo South in the Bono Ahafo region.

The four, according to the commission, have used
their diplomatic passports to secure visas for
persons who travelled to the UK and never
returned.
In a letter dated January 20, 2017 to the Speaker
of Parliament Mike Oquaye Mr Benjamin said: “The
British High Commission considers the actions [of
the MPs] completely unacceptable. In some cases
these behaviours may arguably be criminal in
nature.”

But commenting on the development Wednesday on
Starr Chat, Mr Osei Owusu who is also the chairman
of the Appointments Committee of parliament said:
“I think that the High Commissioner in so many
instances has acted in a way that in my view
transcends the bounds of decency and
propriety.”

According to him, the High commissioner’s letter
to parliament was unnecessary as “these are
personal travel arrangements. I believe strongly
that if any of them took the matter up to appeal,
some of those things may be overturned.”
