The Ghana High Commission’s facility in the UK, responsible for providing visa and various services, alongside the commissioner’s residence, the Ghana International Bank building, and other properties, face the imminent risk of being sold to offset a $140 million judgment debt owed to Trafigura, a Singaporean multinational commodities-trading company.
Expressing his dismay, Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Papa Owusu Ankomah, conveyed his embarrassment over the unfolding situation, wherein the debt payment to Trafigura has escalated to the point of potential seizure and auctioning of Ghana’s assets in the UK.
