Background
The N&MC had suspended newly approved fees that took effect from March 1 this year. The fees included foreign verification which increased from GH¢550 to GH¢3,000. This was after Parliament announced a significant increase in the cost of foreign verification from GH¢550 to GH¢3,000, representing a 445.45 per cent rise.
The Governing Board of the Council decided to halt the implementation of the newly approved fees at its meeting in March this year, pending its review. The council explained that the decision to suspend the fees followed discussions with relevant stakeholders regarding their concerns.
