The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has served noticed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sack Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Mr George Ayisi-Boateng, for his comment that his priority as a government representative in that country is members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) before any other Ghanaian.
Mr Ayisi-Boateng, in an interview with TESCON members at the Kumasi Technical University over the weekend indicated that since he is representing the NPP government, NPP members are his priority.
Mr Ayisi-Boateng said: “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…
“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…”
Reacting to this statement on 505 on Class91.3FM on Monday, 30 October, 2017 Mr Ablakwa described the statement as “reprehensible, unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest of terms”.
He averred that Mr Ayisi-Boateng should remember that he has been appointed as High Commissioner representing Ghana and not as an NPP’s High Commissioner.
“That is not the attitude you take to public office where you are paid by the tax payer…so we are calling on His Excellency, the President, to as a matter of urgency, recall the High Commissioner with immediate effect, and he must be given the sack because he doesn’t have the temperament, he doesn’t have the qualities to represent all of us in South Africa,” Mr Ablakwa stated.

Ablakwa or whatever he calls himself should give us a break. What did President Atta Mills tell his DCE S? Were they not instructed to attend to NDC faithfuls first before any other Ghanaian and did he Ablakwa call for his resignation
This man, where is his sense of patriotism towards the nation. I guess he is paid from npp...
Frankly speaking, politics represent the most ***barred word*** and unfaithful game ever, you all those whether npp or ndc what is your priority any time you tell the ordinary Ghanaian to vote for you?? To gain power and fill your own pot bellies? To gain power and create jobs for only party members? Or to gain power and help the the lay man outhere who's task they use to pay you? Ghanaian leaders are so ungrateful, some one becomes an mp and the next four years he or she is buying mansions outside the country? Thiefs, No wonder they decieve some of the youth to even die when they never recognize your absence,,,
Akans, and for that matter Ashantis are creating problems for non Akans in our great party. Why should an elderly man speaks loosely like this. Yes, is true the party gathered more votes in the Ashanti region, but most Ashantes speaks carelessly,forgetting that Ashanti votes alone can win NPP power. Elderly people in the party should know how to talk. This Ayisi Boateng man don't even deserve ambassadorial position. At his age he is handicap with memories. Please Ashantis, lower your language. The party suffered attacks from the disgraced NDC for far long with such silly talks.
Ablokwa shud ***barred word***🤐 It's our turn and we shud enjoy as u people enjoyed. Selfish NDC POEPLE. GOD IS WATCHING U
Who said my party people benefit before any other people NDC please give a brake nobody is coming to sack this ministry
Yamin who was a minister then said Ghana supporters on government ticket to Brazil would be NDC Foot-Soldiers. Did you call for his fire? Think before you talk -Kwasiato-Gyato-Okudzato
Ablakwa stop being a hypocrite here, You did the same thing when you were in gov't you also did create jobs for only NDC people.
I'm not surprised at all. This is the mentality of the NPP which has resulted in all their appointments to date. Every MDA has had NPP person heading it, you name it. Their next target is taking over our wives!
TRUTH IS UNIQUE. Ablakwa is right here. The HC goofed and must be recalled.
