The Chairman of the newly inducted Hajj Board, Sheik I.C. Quaye, has pledged to take the necessary steps to prevent any hitches in the organisation of this year’s Hajj.
He said unlike past years when all pilgrims converged on one venue to be airlifted, creating chaos and confusion, his administration would find alternatives to ensure the process becomes stress-free.
Speaking to Class FM’s Kwesi Parker Wilson after President Akufo-Addo swore in the new Hajj Board on Thursday, February 16, he said: “This time the pilgrims are not going to converge on one place where there will be struggles and all that. You will be informed two days ahead so those who are to leave are those who will go and converge and get the flight.”
He assured the Muslim community that in the instance that a person is unable to make the trip after payment, he or she would be reimbursed.
“We are not going to face a situation where people will pay and will not go. All those who pay must have the opportunity of performing the Hajj.”
According to him, debts that have been incurred will be “managed” to enable Muslims embark on the next pilgrimage with ease and comfort.
