The Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has called on government to do all it can to help evacuate Ghanaian students from Ukraine in the wake of the attacks from Russia as he invoke Order 72 to raise a matter of urgent public importance.
According to him the Foreign, Interior and Finance Ministries should work together to take urgent steps to ensure the safety of Ghanaians in Ukraine towards immediate evacuation. This, he noted, is a must to show students and their parents that they are Ghanaians and deserve our support, he added.
Mr. Iddrisu raising the issue on the floor of the House on Thursday, February 24, 2022 urged the Finance Ministry to make money available to the Foreign Ministry since there are a number of Ghanaians studying medicine there as well as some lawmakers sponsoring some students there.
The situation, he noted, is very worrying but pointed out that the House would not go into the diplomatic related matters of Ukraine and Russia. Ghana’s foreign position would be on that matter, but given the situation of a near war and Russia not yielding to the diplomatic maneuvers of the West leader by the French President.
