NPP will ask the Hajj committee to account for it. Foolish talk from the Maan person. Another useless NDC member of course.

Government most stop financing private citizens pilgrimages. The best they can do is to facilitate, but the tax payers's money cannot and should not be used to fund private religious activities

Exactly. Why must we pay for Hajj from tax payers money, especially when majority of Ghanaians are Christian? This is nonsense!

We the true muslims don't need your dirty haram tax money to embark on hajj. Can't you see we pay for our hajj. Stupid fools. Who cares about how you feel? Islam is the purest and the most truthful religion in the sight of Allah. So you can't do anything about it. Even your masters, the west have tried to destroy it but couldn't succeed. As for you insignificant flies in Ghana no serious Muslim would have time for you? You can go and burn the sea, if you also have any pilgrimage go ahead and embark on it and stop this unnecessary and foolish jealousy.

Go to your Mecca pilgrimages but for goodness sake you must pay the expenses out of pocket. Makes no damn sense for the nation to bear pilgrimage expenses.

I think people must get it clear. Government has never and does not sponsor hajj pilgrims.
Traveling expenses are often borne by would-be-pilgrims and not Gov't.
What Gov'ts over the years have been doing is to facilitate the processes and not pay for any pilgrim.
Even from paragraph two, a good reader should be able to make that determination. The paragraph clearly indicated that the debt in question was the money paid by people who could not be airlifted to Saudi Arabia but would require Gov't through the Hajj board to reimburse them.

Some would-be-pilgrims paid their money to the hajj board but could not be airlifted. So the board would have to reimburse them. It is not as if Gov't is being asked to pay any money. It is a refund. The article talks about reimbursement, go and look at its meaning. You cannot reimburse when there was no payment.
I think we should rather be questioning where the moneys were lodged so we can use that for the refund.

For your information, the government does not subsidize or pay for the pilgrims. Every pilgrim pays over $3500 for the pilgrimage which almost the same amount paid by their counterparts he in Europe and the US. The government benefits by negotiatiating for a cheaper fare based on the number of passengers.
It is the responsibility of the government to ensure over 4000 of its citizens travelling are safe. So let it made clear over 90 percent of pilgrims pay a fair market price and we should stop making much out of nothing

They are more concerned about the hajj than about their environment. Just go to the Zongo areas and you will vomit. I thank God for Christianity. I should seek to be one. The sweet, truthful, blessed Christ, the bona fide Son of God, is, like His Father, everywhere, working like the Good Shepherd to gather His own, leaving those without ears for Satan. Satan does not work with the Spirit so it is physical and needs his followers to be here or there physically in order to serve him. Oh, the killings and suicide bombings! Satan always has agents to use indeed. He knows where to pick them from: his flock!

how on earth will africans who sleep in gutters engulfed with mosquitoes in smelly slums spoil good dollars to mecca to worship a gods and satanic symbols?

can't you reason that mohammed was fake, terrorist, pedophile , deceptive and could be declared a wanted bloody terrorist if alive today?

how on earth would a true prophet of God marry 12 wives? fought wars and killed over 1 million innocent people?

aabah africans pls think, think and rethink before giving your God given brains to be brainwashed .

how can we think GOD created the black man without giving him a prophet so we need to travel to some desert arabs to give our hard earned dollars to them then return home to sleep in insects infested slums. ? why black man? why????
