British Court of Auditors: The cost of Rwanda’s asylum plan is more than the figure announced by Sunak’s government

According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, while Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister in In the election year, he is trying to advance his anti-immigration project to deport refugees to Rwanda against the ruling of the Supreme Constitutional Court, but the criticism of this project has continued to rise and has created difficult conditions for him.

The controversial asylum deal to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda has cost British taxpayers up to half a billion pounds (584 million euros), significantly more than previously reported, the UK’s Court of Auditors has revealed.

The British Conservative government has so far approved £290 million in spending on the project, but declined to say how much more money London has given to Rwanda. The opposition reacted angrily to these assessments.

Yvette Cooper, the spokesperson for the internal affairs of the English opposition Labor Party, said: This report exposes a national scandal that the Conservatives are trying to cover up.

He emphasized that if this plan is implemented, probably only one percent of the asylum seekers will be sent to East Africa with a few symbolic flights.

With this asylum plan that critics say violates It is human rights, British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak wants to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the UK. Accordingly, anyone who enters this country without the necessary documents must fly to Rwanda, regardless of their personal circumstances, and can apply for asylum there, and it is not possible for them to return to the UK. To this end, Sonak wants Rwanda to be declared a safe third country under this law. However, the corresponding draft met with resistance in the House of Lords.

Although this law was passed in the lower house, it is currently facing strong resistance. A parliamentary committee has recently expressed its opposition to this draft law. According to this committee, this law is completely incompatible with the country’s human rights obligations. Criticisms have been raised against the plan by opponents, from human rights organizations, but also from the Anglican Church and even from Sunak’s own party.

None of this is particularly positive for Sunak. is not. Especially this situation is not a good situation for the conservatives considering the 2024 general elections. The polls are now pointing to a victory for the opposition – Labor.

The cost of living in Britain is still too high, the economy is faltering and the queues for healthcare are too long. That is exactly why if at least one plane can go to Rwanda before the election, it is quite symbolic and very important for Sunak. It probably doesn’t matter how many people sit in it. But it will take some time for this plane to actually take off.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak’s government wants to send refugees to Rwanda, an East African country. But the debate that Rwanda is a safe third country has become very controversial in this country

Opponents of this project, such as the United Nations Refugee Agency, are angry with this British law. Critics believe that there is no legal route for asylum seekers to enter this country. These plans also violate obligations related to the protection of refugees, according to critics. The fact that the government wants to place itself above the decisions of the Constitutional Court by this law also violates the separation of powers. According to critics, Britain has already paid hundreds of millions of pounds to Rwanda without For someone to get there. The Labor Party is talking about a political trick. According to critics, the Rwanda pact was created by then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson to distract from the “Partygate” scandal.
