This was, however, disputed by the Foreign Affairs Minister. According to him, the Foreign Affairs Committee sings from the same hymn sheet when it comes to protecting the interest of Ghanaians and they will do all they can with all the available options. He blamed government and the ministry for failing to furnish the Foreign Affairs Committee with information after it raised concerns when the issue surfaced. Mr Apaak said if Ghana does not quickly resolve the issue, he foresees the US authorities escalating the issue.
