Report on Ministry of Foreign Affairs fire outbreak out, but rules out foul play
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

The committee that investigated the fire that destroyed the Foreign Affairs Ministry in October has ruled out arson.


A day after the disaster, the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Rose Atinga-Bio gave indications there was foul play relating to the cause of the fire.

But her suggestions, according to a report submitted by the seven-member committee have not been supported by the facts.

It said the fire was started by an electrical fault.


The committee, chaired by Mr Kwaku Twum Boafoh, has recommended that the remaining structure be pulled down.

Receiving the report, the Vice-president, Mr John Dramani Mahama, gave the assurance that the lessons learnt in that incident were not lost on the government.

He said the government was committed to adequately equipping the National Fire Service to enable the service effectively fight such disasters.

The vice-president said if the fire had started at a time when workers of the ministry were in the office, it would have been difficult if not impossible to rescue them.

Currently, the ministry is operating from temporary offices in the Jubilee House.
