Ghana Embassy In London Sold -Palaver (1)

The GHANA PALAVER appears to be very troubled over a number of government’s actions.
It therefore ask, whether or not it is true that the Ghana High Commission building in London has been sold and the government is renting it back from the buyer.
It added that, in a bid to win civil and public servants support in an election year, the President and Yaw Osarfo-Maafo have planned to announce and actually grant a 35% salary and wage increase for them across board in early 2004, as has been done for the security services.

Government properties in London are intact - Ghana High Commission

The Ghana High Commission in the UK on Wednesday said the Ghana Palaver newspaper report which alluded to the sale of the Mission’s Chancery located at 13 Belgrave Square, London is absolutely false.
A statement the Mission sent to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said the Government had no intention whatsoever or contemplated selling its Mission located in the prime area of London.
“Perhaps, ‘The Palaver’ may in future, consider verifying the authenticity of stories sent for posting on the net.”
The Ghana High Commission wishes to re-assure Ghanaians that all properties of the Mission located at various places in London remain “Ghana Government properties.”
