The Office of the President has ordered the recall of all Diplomatic and Service Passports issued during the tenure of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration. This move aims to strengthen the credibility of Ghana’s official travel documents and diplomatic protocols.
In a letter dated January 14, Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, instructed the Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to oversee the recall process. He noted that the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining the proper administration and use of official travel documents in line with both national and international standards.
“To ensure the integrity of Ghana’s official travel documents, the recall and review process is necessary,” the letter stated.
The President has set a January 24 deadline for all holders of Diplomatic and Service Passports issued under the previous administration to return them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Chief Director of the Ministry has also been tasked with ensuring a comprehensive review of all returned passports to verify compliance with current eligibility requirements for issuance.
Diplomatic and Service Passports serve as critical instruments in representing Ghana’s interests on the global stage. The government’s directive underscores the importance of preserving their credibility and proper use.
