President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate reversal of all land allocations and sales involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that occurred under the previous Akufo-Addo administration.
The move aims to reclaim the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential, which had been acquired by seven organizations and individuals claiming ownership.
The announcement was made by Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, through a post on his Facebook page. He expressed gratitude to President Mahama for his “unwavering patriotic and decisive support” in safeguarding state property.
Ablakwa stressed that no land or property belonging to the Ministry, whether domestic or international, would be sold under his leadership.
“President Mahama has directed that all allocations and sales of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the previous government be immediately reversed,” Ablakwa stated. “The presidential directive will ensure that the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential, which some seven organizations and individuals claim as new owners, will now be cancelled and preserved for the people of Ghana.”
He further emphasized his commitment to preventing “State Capture,” declaring, “Under my watch as Foreign Minister, no land or property of the Ministry, located either home or abroad, would be sold. No more State Capture! For God and Country. Ghana First.”
