President John Dramani Mahama has ordered that all land transactions and allocations made by the previous administration to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be reversed.
The purpose of this ruling is to protect the Ministry’s adjacent land at Airport Residential, which was claimed as new property by seven organizations and people.
On his Facebook page, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced the presidential decision and thanked President Mahama for his resolute and patriotic support.
Ablakwa emphasized that no Ministry land or property, whether it be locally or abroad, will be sold under his direction.
“President Mahama has directed that all allocations and sale of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the previous government be immediately reversed. Yesterday’s presidential directive will ensure that the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential which some 7 organisations and individuals claim to be the new owners would now be cancelled and preserved for the people of Ghana,” Ablakwa said.
“I am enormously grateful to President Mahama for his unwavering patriotic and decisive presidential backing. 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” he added.
