Ex-President Kufuor expresses great shock over Ministry of
Foreign Affairs building inferno
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, Oct 23, Ghanadot - The immediate Ex-President, John
Agyekum Kufuor, has described the news of the burning down of
the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Accra on
Wednesday night as "a great shock".
"I deem it a sad day for Ghana that such an office of great
importance, which deals with all our negotiations with the rest
of the world, should be so ravaged by fire," he said in a
statement signed by Mr Frank Agyekum, Spokesperson of the Office
of the Former President. He said the loss in terms of vital
documents and material should be incalculable.
Mr Kufuor said while joining the rest of the nation in sympathy
at the tragic event, he felt a double sense of grief,
especially, because he once served as Deputy Minister of Foreign
Affairs during the Second Republic in the late '60s, and then
lately as President of Ghana, he found their work to be
invaluable.
"I stand in readiness to contribute my quota to the
rehabilitation of the Ministry and hope that state agencies will
get to the bottom of what caused the fire and put in place
measures to forestall its recurrence in other vital state
institutions," he said.
