Ghana: Reparative Justice Not About Money - Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has dismissed claims that the growing call for reparative justice for the transatlantic slave trade is driven by financial interests, particularly among African leaders.

According to him, the initiative is about healing, accountability and restoring the dignity of people of African descent.

Addressing a briefing session with the diplomatic corps, Mr Ablakwa emphasised that the campaign is not about monetary compensation for African leaders or governments, but about confronting historical injustices and addressing their enduring legacy.
