Avoid bribes; let's fight COVID-19 together – V/R Minister to GIS
The Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Yao Letsa has warned personnel of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in the region to desist from taking bribes to allow people to enter the country as Ghana's borders have been closed due to the fear of the spread of coronavirus.
President Nana Akufo-Addo ordered the closure of the country's borders, as part of moves to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Speaking at a brief parade held at the Regional Immigration Headquarters in Ho on Tuesday, 24 March 2020, Mr Letsa said: "The borders have been closed, so, no Immigration officer has the right to collect money from anybody to let them in. You must also know that you are also at risk, so, the money you collect, the money doesn't protect you from getting coronavirus, so, at this time, let's all sacrifice and fight for our collective interest."
For his part, the Volta Regional Commander of the GIS, Deputy Commissioner Peter Nantuo warned the service personnel to adhere to the directives or face dismissal.
