Minister Botchwey underlined that, considering the current state of the economy’s financial restraints, Ghanaians must pay reasonable fees for passports. She emphasized that the government had to subsidize each passport by GH¢300 because the former rate of GH¢100 per passport was insufficient to pay the costs of manufacture.
“Ghanians should start paying reasonable fees for passports they obtain so they can travel starting in the following year. The state cannot continue to subsidize passports under the existing circumstances,” she declared.
The ministry’s attempts to maintain budgetary stability while offering citizens’ critical services are reflected in the reduction of passport application prices.
