The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has demanded a public inquiry into allegations that more than US$600,000 was collected from individuals seeking visa and travel assistance for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The party wants Parliament to summon Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams and the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) to explain their respective roles in the arrangements and establish accountability.
Addressing the media on Thursday, October 15, 2026, the NPP’s Director of Communications, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, called on Parliament’s Youth and Sports Committee to investigate the allegations and determine what transpired.
Aboagye said a parliamentary inquiry would help establish the facts and reassure Ghana’s international partners that any alleged fraudulent activities were not sanctioned by the state and that those responsible would be held accountable.
He also called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to brief the public on its engagements with the United States and Canadian embassies and explain measures being taken to protect Ghanaian travellers from potential repercussions.
