To balance how much the government of Ghana spends annual on Muslims to get them to Mecca on the annual pilgrimage, Hajj–the government will start sponsoring Christians annually to pilgrimage.
Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Samuel Kofi Dzamesi, made the announcement at a press conference on Thursday in Accra, saying, “his ministry has set up two separate committees namely, Planning and Screening Committees, to oversee the operations of Christian pilgrimage in the country.”
“Let me assure you that we intend to have an eventful pilgrimage. In view of this, the ministry has set up two sub-committees which are the Planning and Screening Committees which are composed of members of recognised Christian bodies,” he added.
