The Minister-nominee for Foreign Affairs, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, says she was not involved in discussions on the $150 COVID-19 testing fee at the Airport.
According to her, she is only aware of the current $50 COVID-19 testing fees for ECOWAS citizens.
Passengers coming into Ghana were initially required to pay $150 for a 30-minute PCR COVID-19 test.
President Akufo-Addo, however, on the 31st of last month, announced that testing for COVID-19 for all nationals of ECOWAS had been pegged at $50.
The President said the cost for other nationals outside the sub-region will remain at 150 dollars. The Minister-nominee justified the $50 charge for ECOWAS nationals, as it is the standard practice across the globe.
