Gov't to revoke all diplomatic passports of former NDC appointees

Government says it will soon revoke all diplomatic passports still in the hands of former appointees of the John Mahama administration.  

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, said that those still holding on to the passports risk being embarrassed if they fail to return them.  

She explained on the sidelines of the launch of the Ghana@60 celebrations in the United Kingdom that formal notification has been issued for all former appointees and former members of parliament to turn in their diplomatic passports. 

Ms. Botchwey noted that the deadline for the return of the state property has elapsed. 

She said while a good number of former officials have returned the document meant to ease the bureaucracy at the airport during travels, a few still have not complied with the notification.
