Ghanaians who are German citizens have filed a petition to Ghana’s Ambassador to Germany, Gina Blay, and Interior Minister, Henry Quartey, to quickly reinstate their GH citizenship.

Their demand follows Germany’s passing of a law this year, which now allows for dual citizenship in the European nation.

This means citizens who had renounced their Ghanaian citizenship for German citizenship will be able to reclaim their GH citizen statuses.

According to the Ghanaian community, the Dual Citizenship law has been passed for over four months, yet the Ghana Embassy in Germany has yet to announce any definitive measures to reinstate them.

The community members noted that the embassy has not released any information regarding the cost and timelines for reinstatement to apply for a Ghanaian passport.

They expressed disappointment in the embassy’s failure to provide any information on the process despite being aware of the developments concerning the new law for more than a year.
