Chancery Of The Ghana High Commission Has Not Been Sold

The Ghana PALAVER newspaper report carried in the Rumour-Mill column of your website which alluded to the sale of the Mission’s Chancery located at 13 Belgrave Square, London is absolutely false.

The Government has no intention whatever or contemplated selling its Mission located in the prime area of London.

Perhaps, GHANAWEB 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."

Note from Ghanaweb

  • The original news was delivered to ghanaweb.com by the Information Service Department (ISD) - a branch of the Ghana Ministry of Information. (Reference). We hope the embassy will also send a protest note to ISD
  • Ghanaweb published the "unedited" news in our rumour mill and not in our main news.
