World Cup visa scandal: Over 30 people misrepresented as GTA board members to US Embassy – Vincent Assafuah alleges

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has alleged that more than 30 people were misrepresented to the United States Embassy as board members or affiliates of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) in connection with engagements surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, October 10, the MP questioned why a document he said was sent to the embassy listed more than 30 people as GTA board members or affiliates, when the authority’s board comprised about 11 members.

He argued that the number of people listed in the document raised questions about how their names had been presented to the US Embassy and whether all those identified as board members or affiliates had legitimate links to the authority.
