Ras Mubarak
Ras Mubarak, a Ghanaian parliament member in Kumbungu, has called on the Ghanaian government to take revenge for the visa ban imposed on Ghanaian nationals by the US government, which he describes as bullying.
The US government has imposed visa penalties for Ghana's failure to fulfill its obligations under international law by accepting deported US citizens.
The Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called the US action unjustified because, according to the authorities, Ghana respects all the arrangements made to accommodate Ghanaians living illegally in the United States.
Ghanaian authorities said they needed enough time to verify the nationality of the 7,000 expelled.
Reacting to this development in an interview with Clbad News parliamentary correspondent Ekow Annan, after the new US Ambbadador to Ghana, Stephanie S. Sullivan, paid a courtesy call to the Ghanaian parliament leaders on Monday, February 4, 2019, said Mr Mubarak. "We are a sovereign nation, you can not just expect us to evict 7,000 people who claim to be Ghanaians without careful scrutiny and scrutiny …"
"I look forward to seeing the Ghana government respond in the same way. We are equal partners in this area and if the United States of America decides to ignore the burden of proof that clearly shows that we must take our time before sending these people back to Ghana, Ghanaians should help the government to retaliation in the same way, "he said. added.
At the same time, the US government said that without an appropriate response from Ghana, the scope of sanctions enforcement could be extended to a wider population.
