In a significant move to address the growing issue of begging in Ghana, the government has deported 2,200 beggars back to their countries of origin. This development was announced by the Interior Minister, highlighting the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring the well-being of its citizens.
The deportation exercise is part of a broader strategy to tackle the root causes of begging and provide support to vulnerable individuals. The government has also established programs to provide skills training and job opportunities to help beggars reintegrate into society.
This initiative has received widespread support from Ghanaians, who have expressed concern over the increasing number of beggars on the streets. The government’s efforts to address this issue are seen as a positive step towards creating a safer and more prosperous society for all.
