The Minority in Parliament has urged the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, to appear before the House to brief legislators on the government\u2019s donation of relief items valued at GH\u20b510 million to Jamaica and Cuba.<\/p>\n

The assistance package, aimed at supporting victims of a recent hurricane, comprises bags of rice, mattresses, gari mix, cocoa products, storage tanks, and other essential commodities. Part of the aid is also earmarked for Sudan, which is experiencing conflict-related challenges.<\/p>\n

During proceedings on Wednesday, 17th December, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stressed that the government must provide a clear explanation for the donations, particularly given that the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) continues to grapple with a shortage of relief supplies for affected Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Foreign Affairs Committee of this House was not consulted in any manner. All we hear is that relief is being provided, but the process of procurement remains unclear\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this country, we face serious disasters, such as the recent flooding, where citizens have appealed for assistance, yet NADMO has indicated a lack of stock. We need transparency on this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
