Former Deputy Minister for Labour and Employment Relations, Hon. Baba Jamal has indicated that the refusal of President Akufo Addo to remove His Excellency Ayisi Boateng as Ghana’s Ambassador to South African only means he [Akufo Addo] endorses the statement by the Ambassador.
According to him, keeping H.E Ayisi Boateng as an Ambassador despite the fact that he has rendered an apology simply means to him [Baba Jamal] that President Akufo Addo is idelogically inclined with the Ambassador's stance that NPP activists are more Ghanaians than the rest of the people.
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, the former Akwatia MP said that Ghanaians who are not members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in South Africa cannot feel comfortable and safe under Ayisi Boateng as an Ambassador due to his utterance.
“...my problem with him was when he said that some Ghanaians are more Ghanaians than others; take it or leave it. I Baba Jamal, I have said that if I go to South Africa, God forbid if something bad happens to me I will never go to Ghana’s Embassy if Ayisi Boateng is there as an Ambassador”, he indicated.
He therefore suggested to President Akufo Addo to replace the political portfolio of Ayisi Boateng as an Ambassador and offer him another job opportunity since no amount of apology can redeem his already compromised position.
To him, Ayisi Boateng’s offense is far worse than what former Deputy Agric Minister, Hon. Quaintoo reportedly said about Northerners a couple of months ago.
“Ayisi Boateng’s offense is worse than what Quaintoo did as former Deputy Agric Minister. Quaintoo apologised and lost his job but Ayisi Boateng should keep his job after his apology when his utterance is more dangerous than Quaintoo’s comment?...If Nana Addo does not remove Ayisi Boateng as an Ambassador then it means that what he said that some Ghanaians are more important than others is true and it also means that President Akufo Addo backs Ayisi Boateng,” he stated.

The government of Ghana must ensure that electricity is sold only in Kilowatt-hours. Every month the price of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity must be published. This has many obvious advantages.
Its funny rational Ghanaians see nothing wrong with what this man did yet are bad mouthing someone for pointing it out. I care not what party you're from, its very ***barred word*** to make such comments in public
Who cares, jealousy is killing you people.
your ***barred word*** pride will be responsible
Who cares.... you can go and burn the sea.....what are you going to do in South Africa? If you go and shop lift the police will deal with you......
Ah, you this man paa, what are you telling us? Is it not what you have been doing. He has said it, fine we can condemn it. The question is, is it not the practice in all government institutions? It goes on immediately there is a change in government. Stop behaving like this is a new thing that goes on, of course not. When NDC came to power under Prof Mills, may his soul rest in peace, a lot of people were reassigned even demoted from their positions. Baba with all due respect, keep your mouth shut.
You politicians are so funny. We were here and your government removed people from their post. Go to NHIS and see what happened there. People were removed from their work schedule for no reasons. People were demoted from their positions to replace foot soldiers. It has been happening in all the government agencies. His mistake was to announce it to the public. Don't be hypocrite. All these people are just a mere hypocrite. Give us a break we are sick and tired of these your hypocritical attitudes.
