The Executive Director of Media Foundation for West Africa, Sulemana Braimah has added his voice to calls for the resignation of Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa.
According to him, Ayisi Boateng does not qualify to represent the people of Ghana in South Africa considering his immature utterances and the fact that he prioritizes some Ghanaians who belong to his party over people who do not belong to his party.
In a post on Facebook, he said “Meet the NPP Representative in South Africa. I hope Ghana will have a High Commissioner in South Africa soon. This man is not fit to be Ghana’s representative in a foreign land. No. Not a dignified, respected and united country such as our motherland”.
He therefore called on government to dismiss the High Commissioner from his position and rather make him the patron of TESCON where he will be able to satisfy the needs of members of the New Patriotic Party.
“I think he should be brought home and appointed chief patron of TESCON.”
At the meeting, the High Commissioner said that his priority as a statesman was to the members of the ruling government before any Ghanaian.
“This government is doing its best to create job opportunities and me for instance, I told my people over there [that] it is because of NPP that I’m here so the NPP man is my priority. I told them when NDC was in power it was Kwesi Ahwoi who was there, now we are in power, so Ayisi-Boateng is here with you. My topmost priority is the problems of an NPP person before any other Ghanaian, take it or leave it,” he said.
Indeed I’m not boasting but I’ve started meeting the NPP groups. Every weekend I meet some group members and I tell you if I had my way, every job opportunity that will come will go to a TESCON member before any other person. And I know my colleague appointees also have the same feeling except that because of IMF we cannot do anything now…,” he further stated.
