The attention of the Ghana High Commission to the United Kingdom [UK] and the Republic of Ireland has been drawn to an article that was published on the site on Thursday 8th August 2024, titled "UK Protest: Ghanaians in the UK lament over neglect by High Commission."
2. In the said article, it was alleged that one Mr Kofi Marfo, a Ghanaian journalist with Rainbow Radio UK, in an interview with Channel One TV, stated that the High Commission has been quiet in communicating and cautioning its nationals in the UK.
3. The High Commission 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.
4. 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.
5. Among some measures which may not be fully disclosed for now, through these interactions, the Mission has requested the aforementioned leaders to communicate to their constituents the need to be cautious in their daily activities and to avoid areas where groups were gathering to protest.
