Chairman I disagree with you wai. They abused their privilege to get a visa for people they knew would overstay! How do you explain the case where someone's "wife" had different names? If they thought their wives and relatives could get the visa on their own merit, why didn't they let them apply through normal channels?
They have acted fraudulently, case closed!

How I wish Jon would stay another 10 years!

Do you Mr.Jon Benjamin, have to state to the whole Universe as to what the people of Ghana are. What they did was not good to their own record, but your action seems to implicate the whole nation as very fraudulent people and that they should take notice of us. Hence you've taken the decision to write to all embassies in the country and that per actions they should not honor any visa application from Ghanaians. Take note we are not terrorist.

If The HC did not do this, these criminals will do worse things. Just imagine Ablakwah and Ayariga taking the so called bribe, knowing it will leak returned it unintelligently and then they started crying wolf, wolf, and wolf. Imagine Sam george defending a criminal who is being investigated by a state institution. Meanwhile these are the creams brains of especially for the NDC. So if Koku drinks akpeteshie and starts talking by heart, Kofi Adamu alias Adams talking as if his head is upside down, Vanderpuiye sold and bought the official car he was using, then you can imagine Ghanaians especially the minority.

The only problem left here will be genuine Ghanaians being refused visa every now and then. It will not be only visas but other business deals.

This is serious enough for all embassies not to accept Ghana's so call deplomatic passports they abuse this previllagies, it's criminal and these individuals must be jailed and those they shipped to the uk jail before deported.
I think only the president and may be the vise should hold deplomatic passports the rest should also que at the embassies for their visas.
This is a big disgrace to Ghanaians and should be condemned by every honest Ghanaian.

How could you take this matter serious, if British high commission think it is a fraud they should act upon by their rules, this an individual cases and not worth the time of parliament, we got a lot more important issues in the country for parliament to hold talks on. Britain joined the EU and all these Europeans union members have the right for long stay in Britain so what the hell is the Jon Benj wringing our ears for after making a whole lot of money from us for visa application yet a few percentage are granted.

Mr Speaker, please ignore this UK people. If Ghanaians stop applying for such visas and use the monies the embassies dupe Ghanaians every-day under the pretext of false documents, we could be saving huge sums of money for Ghana. Again, if politicians will stop saving genuine and stolen monies in UK banks, they will come begging us. When we keep trooping into their embassies everyday and they keep duping people, they will think we cannot survive without them. Foreign embassies in Ghana, especially the UK and the US embassies are milking Ghanaians everyday everyday and that also puts huge pressure on our currency. Ghanaians should come together and say for six months, we are not going to apply for visit or business visas. Those applying for education and medical reason can do that if these two countries are the only places on earth they think can offer them hope. Left to me alone, those embassies will fold-up because they have become nuisance and disrespectful to us in our own country and I blame our leaders. I do not hate them but I do not see any need for them in my life either. We travel to their countries to make them rich by spending out hard earn monies but they are day-in-day-out disrespecting us in our own country. They rob us of our natural resources and still consider us as minors. Africans must stand up and believe in Africa, eat African foods, wear African cloths and shoes, use African medicines and boycott many basic products. Our women must stop buying these silly hair products, our politicians and pastors must stop buying these expensive but silly suits and ties. Let us wear made in Africa products, let us stay in Africa and develop Africa. Let us make their planes leave our shores empty.

The man is representing his country so what do we expect? Do we know how long he has been dealing with these illegal migrants issue? Maybe, he is taking this drastic measure to see if this will help stop it. We have no one but ourselves to blame. Our honorables are not honorables after all! If we respect ourselves others will also respect us. Once my uncle told me he managed to get all the necessary clearance to enter the US by help of these our honorables but luck eluded him when the Ghana Airways colapsed within days. So you see, if we dont regard our institutions we don't have to blame them that are protecting their institutions. They represent their countries interest not Ghana's interest. I dont see any wrong doing by Jon Benjamin. If he keeps telling them in secret and they don't listen he has to make it public. it is even in the Bible. That would deter others.
