Watch video of dilapidated facilities that have angered pilgrims against Hajj task force
It appears both the Hajj task force put in place by the government and Ghanaian pilgrims embarking on the 2025 Hajj are facing recurrent challenging moments.
After Ghanaian pilgrims who arrived in Makkah early complained about poor facilities allocated to them which the task force said it was addressing, another challenge of poor accommodation facilities and feeding have emerged.
A number of frustrated pilgrims have taken to social media to express their frustrations over what they term as poor experience.
The increasing concerns have got concerned members of the Zongo community calling on the government’s Hajj task force to up their game.
Educationist, Aisha Adam, lamented what she called the “mistreatment” of Ghanaian pilgrims asking “did any member of the task force Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana inspect this property before paying for it?”
“430 pilgrims were checked into this dilapidated building to stay for a month since yesterday morning?,” she also wrote.
“There were assurances since yesterday evening that the hotel will be changed today. It’s 3pm here already and there is still no show!!!!!!! Hajj is a sacred journey. The least we can do is to provide accommodation that is dignifying for human use,” she added. All Ghanaian pilgrims deserve better. This is what we got for trusting the system,” she added.
The Hajj task force are also said to be mismanaging this year’s Hajj with further accusations that they have gone in for substandard facilities following the reduction of Hajj fares.
