A Member of Parliament has called on the government to deploy the presidential jet to South Africa. The purpose would be to evacuate Ghanaian citizens currently in the country.
The unnamed MP believes this action is necessary due to ongoing xenophobic attacks against foreigners. These attacks have created a dangerous situation for Ghanaians living there.
He proposed that sending the presidential jet would communicate a clear message to those perpetrating the violence. It would signal that Ghana is actively looking after its people abroad.
The lawmaker suggested this would demonstrate Ghana's commitment to the safety and well-being of its nationals. It would show that the country does not tolerate such attacks on its citizens.
The MP's suggestion highlights concerns about the safety of Ghanaians in South Africa. He wants the government to take visible steps to protect them.
