This must not continue. The muslims should arrange their own hajj and leave govt alone. This is waste of our taxes. How about christians?

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

This is complete nonsense! The 5th pillar of Islam says perform Haj only if you are able. Ability here means; 1) afford your own trip (without borrowing or debt), 2) leave your family with enough to take care of themselves while you are gone on the pilgrimage. 3) returns from Haj without struggling to survive. So knowing these principles, why is the zongo community rely on government for their Haj? The answer is simple, LAZINESS!!! And politicians took advantage of that. These started during Kufour's era. My advice to the Zongoes is that follow the principles of Haj and perform your pilgrimage. Another goes to the government, STOP hanging freebies to the zongoes because vote. I dare the government that similar rot will happen to the "zongo trust fund" after it is established!
There are other people who are equally in need of support. Example, shoe shine boy, dog chain sellers, twapia (chewing stick) sellers, kayayes, they all need help period!!!

Asiedu-Nk3s33, judgement day is here and discerning Ghanaians will never allow you and your fellow stealers to get away with your booty.

The looter-govt of John Mahama has left a debt of GHC150 billion which this generation and generations yet unborn have to pay.

We cannot therefore be passive spectators to sit down with our arms folded and look on whilst you Asiedu-Nk3s33 and your fellow stealers rape Maaaame Ghana dry.

You gangsters lined up some Ghanaians and killed them for fun with the lame excuse that they borrowed GHC5 from the bank.

This stupidity must stop with immidiate effect. I don't understand what has come of this zongo people. Really I find it hard to believe why a nation should pay for some group of people pilgrimage. Now this is where we are now as nation that we have another group calling for investigation. Mother Ghana don't deserve this. All people of zongo who wants to embark of spiritual journey to Saudi should pay out of their own pocket. Ghana government should stop this good for nothing move. It's really hurting. Should christians also say they embarking on spiritual journey should for monies from the government? God have mercy that is tax payers monies susperingly I wonder how many pay tax and benefit form that fund . Must stop now.

If idiots like Akandoh are in Ghana's parliament then I am not surprised Ghana was moving in the reverse direction at neck-breaking speed under thief Mahama. What are you going to tell the court, that you gleefully approved Oti Bless and Okujato Ablakwa as deputy ministers who had never done their National Service but when it came to the turn of Otiko you are now crying foul because you are in opposition. Is this not discrimination? Is it because she is a woman and Oti Bless and Ablakwa are Men. I don't have any university Cert but I think I know better than Akandoh.

Nihau or whatever your name is just find out before you comment,government does not pay for anybody to perform hajj okey?i perform hajj last year paid by me,Ndc government as they give free cars to chief and bribe opinion leaders again put people on the list to go and pray for them and refuse to pay otherwise I don't understand why we can incur debt after hajj,people complain even about the facilities ghana government rent in Saudi for us to use.The laws of Saudi states that hajj is handled by governments because it involves its citizens as every nation does worldwide.Just use the last World Cup organization as an example,its a four years event across the world and we all saw what happened so don't think its government who pay for Muslims they re only facilitators who act irresponsibly with a corrupt agenda with our Muslim colleagues.

For your ( Christians) information , state doesn't finance the Hajj , it only helps to facilitate the Hajji activities, and the state make some profit out of the pilgrims. Lest year I paid $ 7000.00 for my two sisters to go to Mecca. And I know a lot of people who did almost the same thing. So stop complaining and ask your parties both NPP and NDC why they keep paying for some of their supporters to go to Mecca? Don't hate but rather do your investigation first. Once again, don't hate.

Muslims in Ghana should not allow this religious duty calls annually to be infiltrated by political parties namely the npp and Ndc,I performed last years hajj and saw things by myself,much as I can not talk too much on what happened because it was my first time,I think a lot needs to be done because we saw other nations in Makkah.Example in Mina some female pilgrims were left sleeping outside in the open spaces near a bath house just because some Ghanaians leaving in and around the Saudi Arabian infiltrated our camp with the aid of some hajj officials who gave them feck tags for a fee and they took the places of real pilgrims who had paid and were air lifted to Saudi to perform hajj.How wicked can we be as Muslims?a religious duty such as hajj should not be play with by any Muslim themselves,we cant use hajj as an avenue sole aim to making money,apart from political sponsored pilgrims everybody else embarking on this religious journey pays in full before they re accepted to travel,government in this regards is only a facilitator at the governmental level as the rules re in Saudi Arabia so how can we incur debt to this magnitude making it look as if government of Ghana was paying for all Muslims?.Our Muslim leaders if they don't take care ll be punished by Almighty Allah,the hajj board I agree must be investigated to find out how this happened.The NDC always play politics with the hajj and because Muslims re mostly illiterates people turn to believe that this people re the only party that like Muslims but my question is when was Ndc formed?the tents they assamble at the hajj village was not even procured by them for the use of Muslims,it was left for government after a world conference held in Ghana sometime back under npp government and the only mistake they made was not making it available for Muslims to use as they never thought about it so the Ndc took office and realized we could use it that's all and decided to make a political capital out of our ignorance,now that we know the debt they left over that's has the tendency of affecting the next hajj 2017 who takes the blame here?.The chief Imam is old and can be excused for the lapses and political and governmental manipulation going on but the educated elite among Muslims must ask questions,we can't be this lazy.

Government does not pay anyone's hajj fees to any Muslim. The pilgrims pay the fees themselves. What happens is that, money is paid to government and the air plane is secured by government. Meaning pilgrims pay government who later pay the air line company. So if we pay government and our plane is secured and we go to MECCA and come back, after a year we are told there is a debt of GH 23m. It becomes fishy, our question is, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEY WE PAID TO GOVERNMENT TO SETTLE THE AIRLINE COMPANY? This issue needs to be investigated. To all critics, u should know ur facts right. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PAY FOR PILGRIMS FLIGHT TO MECCA. Stop portraying ur IGNORANCE. If u don't know anything, either ASK or LEARN.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission.

Das y dose people need to be arrested for taking people to Mecca through taxpayers money whiles others pay for themselves. Paying for just 15 people to u means any other Muslim was catered for by government. Think 4 urself, taking people through taxpayers money is illegal but normally GOVERNMENT DOES NOT PAY FOR PILGRIMS TO GO FOR THE PILGRIMAGE.

Moslems and christians are brothers and have co-existed for years to bring ghana this far. It is in fact needless to engage in this childish argument. Any way, apart from the hajj village built by the government, the entire cost of hajj is borne by individuals. The hajj board should be seriously investigated if indeed there is such huge debt.

Sorry folks. Just posting to correct a wrong impression some people are creating on this platform.
It is important to stress that government does not pay for moslems to go on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Muslims who go on pilgrimage pay their own money. The Hajj board is a government to faclitate the process and to liaise between the citizens of Ghana and the Saudi government.

You are an idiot! Ghana is a secular state and the government has no business organizing or providing financial support to a religious body. Think!

Govt.involment in to Hajj affairs to my opinion is necessary. Why because if left for us Muslims to exclusively handle for now there will be a lot of challenges.
What is needed now is a Go honest person to head the bord.
