The Embassy of Ghana in Washington D.C resumes work today , Thursday, May 25, 2025 after  a temporary closure ordered by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.




The closure, which took effect on Monday, May 26, was influenced by an alleged corruption scandal involving the Embassy’s visa section.





Honorable Ablakwa disclosed on his Facebook page that, a local  IT staff member is accused of diverting funds belonging to the Embassy into a personal account.

Chairman of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Dr. Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, has thrown his support behind the Minister’s swift action. Speaking to journalists in Parliament, Dr. Vanderpuije commended the decision to shut down the Embassy temporarily, describing it as a necessary step to safeguard public funds and maintain accountability.


“When we see corruption, when we see an act that is against the resetting of this country, we will not condone it. So, we support the minister for all the actions that he has taken. When the embassy reopens, the public will be served without an iota of corruption,” he said.
