But Inusah Fuseini, who is also the Member of Parliament for the Tamale Central Constituency, said the move will make MPs more accountable. Your visa was given on protocol, and that led to a lot of abuse,” he added. Already, the UK High Commission in Ghana has taken similar actions particularly against Members of Parliament and other public officials who use diplomatic passports.
