It is crystal clear that successive governments after the first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah have failed the country with their poor management of state properties both in Ghana and abroad, though they claim to have the nation at heart. A lot of properties acquired for the State by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah have been sold and some gone waste in the country under his predecessors; thus, his vision to move Ghana forward has rather been retrogressing. On the Facebook Wall of the Executive Director at Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Mr. Sulemana Braimah has revealed another property acquired by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in Kenya for Ghana�s mission in Kenya years back, which has been abandoned to go waste. According him, the �Ghana House� as it is called is on a three-acre land in a plush neighborhood of Nairobi and used to be the High Commissioner�s Residence, the Chancery and a guest house during Dr. Kwame Nkrumah�s era. �While this property is wasting away, Ghana continues to rent a Chancery Building and accommodation for our High Commissioner and Staff at almost 20,000 Euros a month (almost 240, 000 Euros a year and close to a Million Euros in the last 5 years)�, he hinted. THE FULL MESSAGE OF MR SULEMANA BRAIMAH ON HIS FACEBOOK WALL AND PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING: Cry my beloved country!!! This is the state of a great property acquired by Dr. Nkrumah and used as Ghana's mission in Kenya years back. These used to be the High Commissioner's Residence, the Chancery and a guest house all sitting on a three-acre land in a plush neighborhood of Nairobi. It is called the Ghana House. While this property is wasting away, Ghana continues to rent a Chancery Building and accommodation for our High Commissioner and Staff at almost 20,000 Euros a month (almost 240,000 Euros a year, and close to a Million Euros in the last 5 years). I visited this facility today and felt like weeping for my Country .
