Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced that two deals by the previous Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to sell Ghana’s diplomatic properties in Nigeria and Zambia have been canceled.
President John Dramani Mahama fully backed this decision to protect these important assets.
“Yesterday I informed Parliament that with the full backing of President Mahama, we have cancelled two transactions initiated by the previous Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to sell Ghanaian diplomatic properties in Nigeria and Zambia,” Ablakwa stated.
Ablakwa explained that they are also working to recover money that was improperly paid in one of these deals.
He emphasized that those responsible for the transaction, who are currently hiding, will be pursued and brought to justice.
“The masterminds, who are currently on the run, will surely be found and sanctioned. We mean it when we say no diplomatic property belonging to the people of Ghana would be sold under our watch,” he assured.
Ablakwa issued a firm warning against any more attempts to sell off Ghana’s diplomatic properties.
“Notice is hereby served that none of our diplomatic properties either in Ghana or any of our 71 diplomatic missions abroad are available for sale — hands off!” he declared.
He reassured everyone that the government is committed to safeguarding the nation’s interests and stopping any attempts at taking over state assets.
“The principles of ORAL, strict abhorrence for State Capture, and the national interest shall continue to guide our decisions. For God and Country,” he concluded.
