The Foreign Affairs Minister has said government is still considering plans to buy a property in Oslo Norway to serve as a chancery for the Ghanaian embassy there.
Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey justified the reason for government buying a property there instead of renting.
“We have opened a mission in Oslo with an ambassador resident, we have the full complement of staff in Oslo. There is definitely the need for us to buy a property because it is a very expensive city.…Norway is a very expensive country therefore there is a need for us to buy than rent,” she told journalists at the Meet-The-Press series in Accra, Tuesday.
In December 2018, Minority spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, alleged that government had bought a $12m property in Norway to be used as an Embassy.
