Wow, I love npp. Go hang yourselfs. Passport no be food
Arrogance of power in full regalia.
Please, let's understand that nothing in this world is free. Our problem is that we kept the price at GHS 100 for years and now have to adjust the price to cover for inflation and an improvement in the quality of passports.
Arrogance of power. You will surely go to opposition and will not enjoy the proceeds.
Masa! It is nonsense to hike passport fees. Citizens must able able to afford a passport. You fuckn rude and arrogant to deprive citizens of their rights to own a passport while they live in poverty and have no money to pay f ...

@Cathedral Wanker Man... And, where does the extra revenue go?

I personally think they should change de name of de party, from NPP to FPP Foolish People Party

Increasing price of an item by 500% is nothing to him??
U very insensitive . A minister must not speak like that. NPP will never be in power forever.

Wow!!!!!
Any idiot living in a slum in Accra can claim to live in Europe with 2 GH cedis of internet package.
You Re talking crap. You will never use the money to improve services but pay yourselves huge monies. We know you thieves.
The increment makes no sense. It is way too much.
Any fool can be Deputy Minister in the NPP like this foolish one
They make these arrogant statements, thinking they will be there forever. Is it your main aim to insult Ablakwa, you have no concern for Ghanaians? Honestly, I am getting tired of these people.
When you idiot are speaking like this we will insult you useless people foolish man with week thinking leaders you people will go to opposition animals
Ghanaians and hypocrisy. You will pay 100 and pay extra 1000 as bribe to someone at the passport office to help get the passport fast. Why not pay the 600 to improve service and reduce the delay and bribe paying.
And are sure there will be any improvement in the services? Hmmmmm
Passport is now a vital commodity.
You talk of devaluation. What was the value of a 100 cedis when it was first introduced? How much is it worth now?
Arrogant at its highest level. He talked as they are going to do a genuine works.
Very irresponsible so called ministers in a shit-hole Ghana. I was very disappointed listening to the sector minister herself justifying the higher price for acquiring a passport. They both look foolish in the eyes of the enl ...

This is arrogance and disrespectful to the people of Ghana. You are speaking to Ghanaians not Ablakwa. Speak to Ghanaians with decorum. Power is not possession.
Insensitivity and arrogance at the highest order.
Honestly Ghanaian politicians have become overly arrogant because of their positions they hold in political office. Democracy has created thieves and crooks under the guise of elected leadership. I can't believe how Ghana has ...

NPP MEMBERS BEHAVE AS IF GHANA IS FOR THEM ALONE AND SEE GHANA AS THEIR PRIVATE BUSINESS WHERE THEY ENJOY MONOPOLY. THEY CAN CHARGE OTHERS AND SHARE AND THEREFORE DO NOT HAVE ANY PAIN
So as for npp there is no one who speak with wisdom
I LIKE THE WAY THESE NPP PEOPLE TALK TO GHANAIANS.
Nonsense talk. Which majority of Ghanaians are you referring to? Bear in mind that anything that has a beginning has an end. Your time will definitely come. Unpatriotic nonsense
Such an arrogant person has a ministerial appointment? We live to see.
Ugly, useless, senseless, shameless, worthless, clueless, reckless, gormless, lawless, stupid, corrupt, foolish, deceitful, ignorant, arrogant and primitive fool. Kwasiaa buuluubuuluuu!!!
The arrogance of present Ghanaian politicians, especially these NPP crooks. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOW!

This arrogant posture of these appointees will definitely help send this bogus party to opposition so they should keep it up.
Honestly, this is one of the issues l don't believe the minority should be making noise about, that prospective travellers outside Ghana can't afford the new fees. What is the cost of visas or plane tickets to the nearest nei ...
