Re: Ghanaians in UK lament over neglect by High Commission

The Ghana High Commission to the United Kingdom (UK) and the Republic of Ireland has stated that their attention has been drawn to an article published on  online news media outlet GhanaWeb on Thursday (8 August), titled “UK Protest: Ghanaians in the UK lament over neglect by High Commission.”

The article alleged that Kofi Marfo, a Ghanaian journalist with Rainbow Radio UK, stated in an interview with another Ghanaian news media outlet, this time Channel One TV, that the High Commission has been quiet in communicating and cautioning its nationals in the UK.

In a rejoinder, the High Commission stated it “regrets the allegation of inaction or indifference levelled against the office because it is both untruthful and most unhelpful in the unfortunate circumstances in which our host nation and Mission find ourselves.”

“The hard fact is that despite the irregular and sporadic nature of the nationwide riots, we categorically state that we have followed the trends as much as it is possible and maintained contact with the various heads of the registered Ghanaian Associations across the UK during these unprecedented riots.”

The Commission also reaffirms its commitment to protecting nationals in the UK.

“We want to assure all nationals, including those with dual citizenships, that the High Commission would continue to discharge all its legitimate rights under the Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians in defending the lives of all Ghanaians and people of Ghanaian descent.”
