Mahama orders recall of diplomatic passports

The Mahama administration has directed the recall of all diplomatic and service passports issued under the Akufo-Addo government.

A statement from the President's Executive Secretary, dated January 14, emphasized the need to ensure proper use, prevent misuse, and uphold Ghana's global integrity.

President Mahama instructed the Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to notify passport holders, set a return deadline, and conduct a thorough review of the documents.

The Ministry has until January 24 to complete the collection process.

Ghana’s diplomatic and service passports are reserved exclusively for government officials and diplomatic personnel.

This measure reflects the administration's commitment to safeguarding the nation's reputation and ensuring adherence to the proper protocols surrounding these official travel documents.
