Jinapor demands answers as Alima Mahama is asked to pay for Embassy spending outside her tenure

The Minority caucus has questioned the legal basis for a demand by Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa for former Ghanaian Ambassador to the United States, Hajia Alima Mahama, to refund monies linked to activities at the Ghana Embassy in Washington.

Minister for Foreign Affairs seeks to circumvent this laid procedure and curtail the former Ambassador's appeal against surcharges,” the statement said.

The concerns follow a Special Audit Report by the Auditor-General on the Ghana Embassy in Washington covering January 2017 to June 2025.
