According to a consular officer at the High
Commission of Ghana in Ottawa, the government of Ghana does not
have a separate arbitration and complaints department (24 Mar.
1993). Rather, it is the ombudsman's office that receives
complaints from citizens, investigates their complaints and follows
up on procedural matters (Ibid.). The role of the ombudsman
is enshrined in the new constitution of Ghana (Ibid.).
Additional or corroborating information is
currently unavailable to the DIRB in Ottawa.
