Samuel Abdullai Jinapor, a Ranking Member of Parliament, has called for more than just a travel advisory from the Foreign Affairs Ministry. He said the advisory, issued after a deadly attack in Burkina Faso, is important but not enough.
Mr. Jinapor believes the government needs to take bigger steps. He stated that Ghana must put urgent security measures in place. This is to protect its citizens.
The current advisory warns Ghanaians about traveling to Burkina Faso. This follows a violent incident in the neighboring country.
Mr. Jinapor's comments highlight concerns about public safety for Ghanaians. He wants the government to be more direct in its protection efforts.
The lawmaker stressed the need for action beyond simple warnings. He pushed for solid plans to prevent similar issues for Ghanaians. This includes those who travel or live near the border.
