Fresh concerns have emerged about the strength of Ghana’s citizenship and documentation processes, following reports that some foreign nationals – Niharika Handa and her son, Vasu Handa – obtained Ghanaian citizenship despite alleged unresolved inconsistencies in personal records.
Investigators earlier raised concerns about how Handa and her son, Vasu Handa, obtained Ghanaian citizenship and passports after residing in the country for fewer years than the mandatory requirement, and why the birth year listed in her Ghanaian passport (September 14, 1965) differs from that in her Indian passport (September 14, 1961).
