UGAG Executive Board Meets The Ambassador H.E Mrs Gina Blay
In November 2017, the Ambassodor H.E Mrs Gina Blay invited the UGAG executive board to her Office in Berlin. As a newly appointed Ambassador, she wanted to meet UGAG to discuss issues arising in the Ghanaian community in Germany.
It was a very open and fruitful discussion. She expressed her desire to work closely with UGAG. Her excellency did not break her promises. She has since attended UGAG´s NRC meeting in Mannheim in May, 2018 and has already confirmed to attend the impending NRC in Worms on the 4th of May, 2019.
UGAG has already sent a petition to the parliament of Ghana, asking for extra ID-cards for Ghanaian born who have naturalised in Germany so that there would not be the need to apply for visa when travelling home. UGAG wants to go the extra mile to ask parliament to take steps to help Ghanaians who want to naturalise in Germany keep their Ghanaian passports. Usually, Ghanaians who want to naturalise in Germany have to give up their Ghanaian citizenship. We feel there are many disadvantages that go with the renunciation. UGAG therefore intends to go round the country to gather signatures from Ghanaians and send them together with a petition to parliament.
Remittance to Ghana
Remittance to Ghana https://ugagglobal.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Presentation.jpg 500 749 Johnny https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0335221fc2e39dd14054b02875b36d8?s=96&d=mm&r=gLecture There will be a lecture on “Remittances to Ghana” on May 4th 2019, during the UGAG NRC meeting. The content of the lecture will be handed over to the delegates present for further discussion at the meetings of the various local Ghana unions.
A letter has been sent by UGAG to Diaspora Office in Ghana, Parliament and the Embassy of Ghana in Berlin to petition them so that “Ghanaian Germans” could be exempted from visa requirement, when travelling to Ghana. UGAG received response from Diaspora Office in Ghana that they have talked to Foreign Affairs Ministry and the ministry assured Diaspora that it will work to modify this “anomaly”. The anomaly is that “once a Ghanaian, remains a Ghanaian”,
In order to accelerate this petition, UGAG will embark on collection of signatures from all Local Unions to support our petition which has already been sent to the authorities in Ghana The signatures to be collected now are for the purpose to abolish denunciation of the Ghanaian Citizenship, when they decide to take the German citizenship.
