The Embassy of Ghana in Washington, D.C., will officially be reopened today, Thursday, May 29, after a temporary closure prompted by a significant IT breach and allegations of internal corruption.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration announced that the mission is now resuming full consular services with enhanced integrity measures and a newly deployed team of diplomats.
The closure followed revelations that a locally recruited IT staff member had created an unauthorised link on the embassy's website, redirecting visa and passport applicants to a private company where they were charged unapproved fees.
This fraudulent scheme reportedly operated undetected for several years.
