Former Chief of Staff denies visa fraud allegations

The former Chief of Staff of former President John Dramani Mahama, Mr. Julius Debrah has denied being banned from entering the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and five other European countries over visa fraud.

There have been speculations on social media that Mr Debrah was not only ban from entering the USA but slapped with additional 10-year ban barring him from entering the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands for facilitating the entry of 48 supporters of the then governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the USA, as part of government’s delegation to the 2016 United Nations General Assembly.

Reacting to the speculation, Mr Debrah in a statement said throughout his tenure of office, he never personally applied for any visa or got involved in visa acquisition.
