During meetings at both Jeddah and Riyadh, he commended all Ghanaians in the Kingdom for comporting themselves well in their stay so far.

He assured that the Government of Ghana was working tirelessly to find lasting solutions to the alleged maltreatment of some Ghanaians who worked in the Kingdom as housemaids.

“There is no doubt that some of you may fall foul to the laws of the host authorities and are constantly pursued and deported, nonetheless Ghanaian citizens have a very good image of the country. Talking about the challenges of the Labour and Immigration laws to our citizens, I can assure you of appropriate measures being underway to find holistic solutions to the challenges,” he said

The Ambassador mentioned that the contribution of Ghanaians who are Civil, Chemical, and Electrical Engineers, Accountants, Medical Practitioners, and Teachers in the form of remittances other forms of Investments into the overall Ghanaian economy cannot be measured.


For many who have very little information about Ghanaians in the Gulf countries, the Labour Force he indicated was the housemaids such as the cleaners and the cooks who do the menial jobs while the other category includes vulcanizers and car washers.

At previous meetings with some corporate organizations such as the Saudi Development Fund (SDF) and the Federation of Saudi Chambers of Commerce(FSCC), the Ambassador extended a strong invitation to Ghanaian investors to turn their attention to Saudi Arabia following the new socio-economic reforms currently taking place in the Kingdom.
