The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has accused Ghana's former Ambassador to the U.S., Hajia Alima Mahama, of enabling and legitimising acts of corruption at the Ghana Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, June 26, 2025, Ablakwa stated that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is investigating the matter and warned that the former ambassador would not escape accountability.
He insisted that the former ambassador's attempt to discredit the ministry's fact-finding mission and downplay the magnitude of corruption uncovered is both "shocking and condemnable." "We have provided Parliament with a full report of the fact-finding mission.
The levels of corruption and naked conflict of interest we uncovered were absolutely egregious.
