The embassy of Ghana in Washington, DC, has issued 2,943 visas since reopening after a short closure.
In a social media update, the Foreign Affairs Minister stated that work is in progress to eliminate the backlog of visa applications.
The embassy is presently executing public engagement strategies to enhance the transparency and accessibility of their services for clients.
The Foreign Affairs Minister took the chance to assure Ghanaians overseas of fighting corruption, removing conflicts of interest, safeguarding applicants from criminal exploitation, restoring Ghana’s reputation internationally, and improving service delivery with efficiency and integrity.
His post read “On Washington DC — I am glad to report that we have surgically uprooted the canker of corruption. Far-reaching reforms are underway to overhaul service delivery. Since the re-opening, a total of 2,943 visas have been issued. I have been there to directly supervise operations and ensure the backlog of visa applications are cleared. Subsequently, I have instructed the new team of diplomats to quickly implement the public responsiveness policies I have enumerated above.
I urge the public to have confidence in our reset agenda aimed at combating corruption, eliminating conflict of interest, protecting applicants from criminal exploitation, redeeming Ghana’s image abroad and serving you better with efficiency and integrity.
The Mahama administration is deeply committed to a new reset era of accountable public service with uncompromisingly high standards of professionalism, transparency and patriotism.
For God and Country.
