The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has announced that over 2,000 foreign nationals engaged in street begging have been relocated to their home countries.
He said the move has significantly reduced the presence of beggars on the streets of Accra and other cities across the country.
Speaking at the first session of the Government Accountability Series, the Minister revealed that the exercise forms part of a broader plan to sanitise public spaces and restore order in urban centres.
The Government Accountability Series is an initiative to provide the public with updates on the performance of the John Mahama administration and to strengthen transparency and citizen engagement.
The Interior Minister noted that strategies are being mapped out to sustain the repatriation initiative and ensure that foreign nationals involved in street begging are permanently removed from the streets.
He also highlighted the Ghana Police Service’s achievements in combating illegal mining (galamsey) and armed robbery.
According to him, the Police Service has demonstrated a proactive approach in its operations, leading to positive outcomes in crime reduction.
The Interior Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring law and order, as well as the safety and well-being of all residents across the country.
