The Government of Ghana has declined a proposed GH¢20 million donation from MTN Ghana intended to support Ghanaian victims of recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the government has already made sufficient financial provisions for the affected individuals.
The donation, offered by the telecommunications giant, was aimed at providing relief to Ghanaians who suffered losses and hardship due to the xenophobic violence. However, the government's decision suggests existing budgetary measures are deemed adequate to address the needs of the victims.
