The Interim Hajj Taskforce has accused the previous Hajj Board of leaving behind an outstanding debt exceeding $5 million from past pilgrimages, raising concerns about financial mismanagement in the organization of Ghana’s annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.
According to the task force, the debt reportedly covers unpaid airline charges, catering services, and other logistical expenses essential to facilitating a smooth pilgrimage for Ghanaian Muslims.
The financial burden, they argue, could negatively impact preparations for future Hajj operations if not addressed urgently.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the Chairman of the Taskforce, Alhaji Collins Dauda, called for a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure accountability and transparency in the management of Hajj-related funds.
He emphasized that financial irregularities in such a critical religious exercise must be dealt with decisively to restore public trust.
