Ghana pays fifteen million dollars every year just to rent homes for workers at foreign offices. Our money goes straight into landlords' pockets instead of buying buildings we could keep forever. Mr. Ablakwa from Foreign Affairs wants to fix this big money drain right away. He plans to buy at least two houses each year for staff members living in other countries. This change should save lots of cash over time.
The Minister looked worried when he talked about how badly some buildings need fixing. Many properties already bought by Ghana sit damaged overseas because nobody takes care of them properly. These unsafe places hurt the health of our workers who must live there daily. Mr. Ablakwa promised he would help people working in dangerous countries by moving them to new places every two years. This rule helps protect staff from staying anywhere risky for long periods.
Mr. Ablakwa shared these ideas during his trip to the Ghana office in Nigeria's capital city. He listened carefully to what workers said about their problems. His visit includes stops in Benin and Togo to check up on Ghanaians living far from home. The Minister believes walking around these places helps him see real issues faced by workers every day. His direct approach should make life better for everyone serving Ghana abroad.
The high cost of housing hurts our country's budget year after year. Fifteen million dollars spent on rent disappears forever, unlike money invested in buying property. Staff members feel happy knowing Ghana cares about where they sleep at night. Better houses mean healthier workers who stay loyal to their jobs longer. Mr. Ablakwa hopes these changes will strengthen how Ghana shows up across the world.
Many workers clapped when they heard about the new housing plan during meetings. They lived with these problems for many years without anyone listening. Small changes like moving people from dangerous spots show real care for human lives. Better buildings mean prouder representatives when other countries visit our offices. The Minister promised more improvements would happen soon as he continues traveling to meet workers face-to-face.
