Mohammed Amin Lamptey explained that the Saudi Arabia government earlier promised to increase Ghana’s quota but failed to fulfil it. This led to many pilgrim hopefuls been denied visas for this year’s hajj.
Hundreds of prospective hajj pilgrims failed to make it for this year’s pilgrimage even though they had made payments to participate. The last batch of Ghanaian Muslim pilgrims were airlifted on Sunday.
The 2016 Hajj pilgrimage is set to start on September 10 and end on September 16.
