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 speculations, Mr Debrah in a statement said throughout his tenure of office, he never personally applied for any visa or got involved in visa acquisition.
“The Chief of Staff does not apply for visas for government delegation when travelling. It's the office of the Director of State Protocol that has that responsibility. And throughout my tenure of office as Chief of Staff, I personally never applied for visa for anybody. And never do I recall ever sending or facilitating the travelling of party supporters with the motive as sojourners. I have never used the office of President to acquire a visa for anybody not a single person because I never got involved with matters of visas acquisition. Even known drug dealers are not banned from 7 countries, let alone a former Chief of Staff to the President,” he stated.
Mr Debrah added that he usually leave such matters “to my maker,” adding that he has been accused in the past of “receiving over GHS40.5 million from BOST into his private account at Fidelity Bank, purchased bullet proof vehicles for President Nana Akufo-Addo, withdrew the 10 per cent deductions from the salaries of former ministers for private purposes, the list can go on and on and on.”

thieeevesss. corrupt people
NPP, and that matter, Nana Addo must learn a lesson from NDC failure. As much as is good to recruits young people at sensitive place in his young government, he should avoid loudmouths, abusive and unintelligent young men. These uncultured young men were the caused of NDC down fall. It's about to happen in this government. I can't understand what the heck that unintelligent so called staffer Nii Tsgoe want at presidency. Yes he mighty have contributed to the success of the party victory, but his actions shows he is not intelligent, and should not get closer to the presidency. He with the connivance of some greedy NPP members are the originators of this corruption allegations against these two hard working staffers, Jinapo and Asenso. Yes I won't rule out mischievous NDC. A plus is just robot been used. And f oolishly as he has always been, he is enjoying it.
I wonder if this Julius Debrah guy is a christian..... He was totally reckless with our state resources. He left his job as Chief of Staff and took over the campaign manager position for John Ford Mahama..... I will not like to see this evil NDC guys back to power in my life time.
Yet still you are corruption. Your desperation during the 2016 electioneering campaign shows that you are corrupt. Running around the whole country with cars boots stacked with cash for distribution. Your and your classmate Mahama actions during the campaign was like the world will end if NDC loses power. As for whether you are corrupt or not, just wait for special prosecutor .
