The Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu has urged government to ensure all stranded Ghanaians abroad are brought back home amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although borders still remain closed, government has through special arrangements brought some stranded citizens abroad back home.
However, Haruna Iddrisu insists a lot can be done to bring back all stranded Ghanaians.
“We need to do something about Ghanaians abroad who are still stranded. They are our citizens. I know that some efforts have been done, but we need to get our citizens back home. Many of them are not working in foreign countries and we know what that means. At least, if they are home, family members will share some bread with them. That is not the case in Europe or America,” he stated.
He added, “there is a huge number of Ghanaians out there, but what is being done to bring them into the country? The government must prioritise essential repatriation of Ghanaians as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.”
