Who is going to pay for this huge expense ? Why not let them pay their own way , if this is so important for them? Have we lost our priorities ? This makes no sense at all.

Did John Dramani Mahama ask the government of Ghana to sponsor 2025 pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia? Ghana government rather makes a lot of profit from the haj council. Government only make diplomatic arrangement but all the cost are paid by the pilgrimages. SURVIVAL, you moppet!

Is same assistance available to Christians? It’s not a force to perform the Hajj. So those who can afford it can pay to go. All that the government should be doing is to make consular services available to those who would travel to Saudi Arabia. This money could have been used to employ 100 or more graduates in the public sector. We should move away from this annual waste of money. Applies to both NDC and NPP.

You useless being, Muslims pay for their trip and all the expenses involved. If Christians also organize for pilgrimage abroad, government can only provide diplomatic cover or arrangement equally like Muslims. Government doesn't pay a pesewa for any Muslim pilgrimage. Ghana rather make a lot of money from Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.

Then why rely on government to lift pilgrims if that’s the case. I thought the President recently reduced the amount that pilgrims pay to go for the Hajj. Correct me if I’m wrong. Government should not be in the business of the Hajj or any religious pilgrimage for that matter. Period.

Useless government. Why such a waste. The Hajji is optional gir Moslems. One can still go to heaven without the Hajji. Please use the money for the poor. Those who go on pilgrimage are not poor

Tawiah, is far better than to give your money to fellow Ghanaian pastor and squander and if you're not lucky, and sex your wife on top. Now, ask yourself who is human animal than you?

Mahama will be best president after Dr Kwame Nkrumah. He was enthroned after the saddened death of Prez Attah Mills and he wasn't prepared enough. From the look of things he is doing so excellently.

Why is the government getting involved in the Hadji affair? Will they also airlift Christian’s for a pilgrimage?
Ok provide an equivalent amount for the National Cathedral

Why should the government be involved in that? I thought the constitution says Ghana is a secular state.

I have said it many times that we cannot rely on Mahama to transform the country. He is not the type of guy who can transform a country because he does not know what transformation implies. He is going to build his roads, schools, bridges, hospitals, etc and think that is transformation. Ghana needs people like KSM (from the KSM show) to lead the country.

This is how far religion is undermining the country. We put symbolism of religion above doing good. Many Christians in Ghana put going to church above doing good or being a good person. My understanding is that Muslims are obliged go to on the hajj if the can afford it. What is the role of the government in airlifted 5000 pilgrims to Mecca when most Ghanaians are doing it very tough

Please, it's pre arrangement. Pilgrims will pay it later. Government of Ghana is booking the slot, because is diplomatic arrangement. The pilgrims will it later.dont you know that if you used private airlines it will cost you lesser than government one, but because of diplomacy between the two countries, that why people are patronizing gov one.
