加纳总统 John Mahama 先生宣布，内阁已批准一项名为 "从租赁房产向自主开发战略转型" 的新政策，以确保加纳驻外机构使用国有设施而非租赁场所办公。总统解释说，根据该政策，政府已任命交易顾问，正在设计标准化开发方案，并就融资机制进行谈判。

为此，他指示财政部长和外交部长紧急解决驻外使领馆高昂的房产租赁费用问题。9 月 4 日周四在首都阿克拉的总统府为新任命的 18 位大使、高级专员和礼宾官员举行的宣誓仪式上，总统表示加纳每年为驻外机构支付超过 1500 万美元租金，称这种做法既不可持续又造成浪费。

"加纳不能继续每年花费 1500 多万美元租赁外交房产。这不是对纳税人资源的明智使用，'重置议程' 将立即扭转这种趋势。" 他强调该计划不仅能减少不必要的开支，还能更积极地在国际舞台上展现加纳形象。

"这一转变将确保我国驻外机构使用共和国自有房产，在减少浪费性支出的同时，维护加纳在国际舞台上的尊严。" Mahama 总统补充道。

Cabinet Approves New Policy for Ghana to Own Properties Abroad for Missions – Mahama

President John Mahama says Cabinet has approved a new policy, the Strategic Transition from Rental to Development of Properties, to ensure that Ghana’s missions abroad operate from state-owned facilities instead of rented premises.

The President explained that under the policy, a transaction advisor has already been appointed and that, standard developments are being designed, and funding mechanisms are under negotiation.

He has, therefore, directed the ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs to urgently tackle the huge costs of renting properties for Ghana's diplomatic missions abroad.

Speaking at the swearing-in of 18 newly appointed Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and Protocol officials at the Jubilee House in Accra on Thursday, September 4, President Mahama said Ghana spends over $15 million every year on rent for missions abroad, a practice he described as unsustainable and wasteful.

“Ghana cannot continue spending more than $15 million every year on renting properties abroad for our diplomatic use. This is not a judicious use of taxpayers’ resources, and the Reset Agenda is an immediate reversal of this trend,” he said.

He stressed that the plan will not only reduce unnecessary expenditure but also project Ghana’s image more positively on the international stage.

“This shift will ensure that our missions abroad are housed in proper homes owned by the republic, reducing wasteful expenditure while safeguarding Ghana’s dignity on the international stage,” he added.
