Ghana’s President, Akufo-Addo implements travel ban on ministers and officials
The President of Ghana Nana Danquah Akufo-Addo, has slapped a travel ban all ministers of state and government officials until further notice.
This directive was issued in a press statement signed by Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare. The statement said only foreign affairs and regional integration minister Shirley Ayorkor Botchway would be allowed to travel.
The reason behind the temporary ban is still unknown but it is believed that continual travel by government officials was disrupting domestic work.
It also follows concerns raised that there was a culture among government ministers and officials of preferring to travel around the world instead of staying home to work.
