The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has denied reports that he has awarded a renovation contract for Ghana’s embassy in Benin at a cost of US$5.2million.
For the record, he said he has not awarded any embassy renovation contract anywhere in the world.
“Let me be clear — not a single embassy renovation or construction contract has been awarded by me since I became Foreign Minister,” he wrote on his X page.
On the contrary, he said, he rather protected taxpayers by cancelling a US$3.5million single-source midnight contract to renovate our embassy in Abidjan, which was awarded on 7th November, 2024.
He further assured Ghanins that he will work to protect Ghana’s interests at all times.
“I shall never betray the trust of the Ghanaian people as we work tirelessly, and with integrity, to achieve President Mahama’s Reset Agenda,”
