The youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has given President John Dramani Mahama fourteen days to act on the issues they raised against the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa.

The NPP staged a demonstration in Accra, dubbed ‘Yɛgye Yɛ Sika’, on Tuesday, November 3.

They are demanding accountability from the government over expenditure on the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa and the issuance of diplomatic and service passports.

The protesters are demanding a detailed account of the reported GH¢16.4 million discrepancy in the expenditure on the evacuation of 1,964 Ghanaians from South Africa.

Addressing the gathering the National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Fuseini Abanga said "we are giving President Mahama 14 days to act; else we will stage another demonstration."

The NPP youth wing is also calling on the government to publish the original invoices, contracts and proof of payment for all charter flights used in the evacuation exercise.

The protesters are demanding the publication of details of all diplomatic and service passports issued since January 2025, including the qualifying office or status of each recipient and the approving authority.

They are also calling for the cancellation of any passports found to have been issued improperly, insisting that the process must comply with the relevant regulations.

The NPP youth wing says the demonstration is part of its broader campaign for transparency and accountability in the management of public resources and official documents.
