But what new news is Bridget Otoo telling us here? The United States has explained to us over and over again that their decision to limit rte duration of visas is because of students overstays. So why is Bridget repeating the same news to us? Wise people speak when they have something to say. Idiots speak because they have to say something.
Now when we talk of reciprocity, is it the US that is reciprocating Ghana's decision to limit the duration of visas for United States citizens visiting Ghana or vice versa?

It is not true that students overstay their visa in the United States. Students duration of study in the United States is not tied to the length of their student visa, but rather duration of study. You can be given 1 year student visa, but can legally continue to study in the United States for years even after your visa expires as long as you're legally enrolled and studying full time. Get the facts right.

This US visa restrictions have everything to do with the total undiplomatic braggadocious attitude of this man Ablakwa. A foreign minister who shut down the most important Ghana embassy in the US just because there was totally unrelated side contract with a Ghanaian courier company. This guy, as foreign minister is the face of Ghana in the international arena. What a pathetic, shameful and ignorant foreign minister.

1 .Students overstay
2.Visitors over stay over 10,000 Ghanaians visiting the US overstayed the intent is to get papers .Some have been successful some are still struggling.
3.Business Visa over stay
4.Romance scam very high from Ghana
5.Money Laundry very high from Ghana
Over 5,000 foreigners have acquired GH passports to secure US visas and have tainted the image of Ghana.
6.Drug related issues
The US government have scrutinized these with security research and realised that for them to sanitize the or rest thier economy they must come out with some restrictions.To allow quality and purpose driven people to enter their country

There is nothing we can do for now .The affected countries are trying to negotiate but they have revised the policy and we can't beg them
There is going to be high Visa refusal as well .I think we must sit down and reflect on how we have allowed foreigners to taint our image and also we must revise our beef up our cyber security is really damaging the country

@Kamal, these issues with visa overstays and the rest are not new and not restricted to Ghana alone. US citizens used to have 5-year multiple entry visas to Ghana but that has recently been drastically reduced by the Ghana government to two years now. When the US government talks about reciprocity, now you can understand where it is coming from. The undiplomatic tantrums by Ablakwa definitely added more fuel to the situation resulting in such harsh response from the US.

If you people are emphasising on the word 'reciprocal ' do you mean US is reciprocating Okudzeto's undiplomatic outburst or Ghana cutting on US citizens visa opportunities on visits to Ghana? Critics should come out clear here on what US is reciprocating. Don't just criticize for it's sake. At least criticize to make common sense. Nothing is matching in your arguments.

Just look how Bridget Otoo is messing up in an attempt to clean the mess of her master. Neither the regular international students nor exchange/visiting students have anything to do with B1/B2. Its shocking that she and her foreign affairs minister don't know the difference between an 'F' or 'J' and 'B' type U.S visa. Yet they always throw their weight arround as if their views are infallible. Bridget has been corroborating such falsehood for a long time and played with the emotions of ignorant people to advance the electoral fortunes of the NDC

Lady Brigitte do you have to speak when you don't have anything to say? Reciprocal? Do you understand what that means? Spend time on your job and don't chip in conversations repeating what everyone knows. You're no authority on the issue and should have been quiet. Especially when you sounded stuptid or dumb or both for NOT making sense with the word "recoprocal". For your information, more than 50% of passport holders from the UK, US, Canada etc are Ghanaian born. And you and your foreign minister should know why Ghanaians go and overstay. How many regular Americans overstay in Ghana to be a big issue? So what is reciprocal about the issue? You see why you need to get a dictionary and learn the meaning of that word before you come across as dumb or stupid or both again?

Bridget's take could be a show of thr greatest myopic opinion to serve in the capacity she does. If the politicians keep stealing Ghana's money and bank of ghana declaring losses, why will students who taste honey of better common sense nit want to make better of themselves elsewhere there rather than return?
I thought you should talking about issues like agradaa given dollars at the time Ghana is struggling to thame the dollar. More issues about Pastor Mensa Otabil's involvement in Capital Bank saga as board chair and still walking free. So many issues could be compared and contrasted like Agradaa's dollar payment and Cecilia Dapaah's $1m in her house. If we the same people who criticised her and suspected the $1m was stolen money, where the agradaa's dollars harvested from?
Those are very logical areas to constructively engage in, other than displaying myopia unhead of.
