The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Board, Kwadwo Twum Boafo, has made a U-turn on his comments suggesting the UK’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin, is a member of the pressure group OccupyGhana.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day magazine show Tuesday, Mr Twum Boafo said: “The British High Commissioner in this country has been going to #OccupyGhana meetings [and] showing up at their events.”
He claimed Mr Benjamin once addressed the group at Christ The King in Accra, which he said, triggered a response from the Minister of Communications.
But Mr Benjamin later tweeted TV3 to deny the claims, and accordingly demanded a retraction from Mr Twum Boafo, saying “I have never once been to an OccupyGhana event. Will you now as KT Boafo to retract and apologise?” Mr Benjamin’s denial prompted a retraction and apology from Mr Twum Boafo, who described his claim as “error”.
“I deeply regret any inconvenience caused Mr Benjamin by my error and wish to correct the record to reflect the actual situation. I apologize for any distress caused him as a result of my erroneous submission,” he said in a statement issued Tuesday night.
Retraction and Correction of Record
I wish to correct a misimpression emanating from a submission I made this morning 15th November 2016 on TV3’s Newsday programme.
During the program, I said that British High Commissioner to Ghana H.E. Jon Benjamin addressed an OccupyGhana event. My attention has subsequently been drawn to the fact that Mr Benjamin has never spoken at any OccupyGhana events.
I accept that the British Government is entirely neutral regarding the results of Ghana’s impending election and will work with whoever wins. I deeply regret any inconvenience caused Mr Benjamin by my error and wish to correct the record to reflect the actual situation. I apologize for any distress caused him as a result of my erroneous submission.

Look at twum boafo being humiliated in his own country by his former colonial master. Twum boafo is a disgrace to pan african movement and an example of the cowaaards who took gin from white ppl and gave them their sisters and wifes to fokkkkk and sell to slavery. Look at how quickly he lay om his belly like a magggggot to beg. And tomoro he wants to come on air and insult other ghanaians as if he is corageous! Thou fuuuuuuuuuul! Come on air again and you will see what we will do to u!!!!

Gbagbagbagba...talking trassh all the time. you see the mess you've created for yourself again. That's what happens when you talk from your stomach instead of head. Twum Boafo has to excliam unnecessarily to be noticed by his pay masters. May you never be granted British Visa anytime you decide to go there. Abufu s3m
This is characteristic of a man who is so brave he could f**k his own step mum. Only heavens know how many of such baseless allegation this donkey has done in the past and will surely continue to do. By the way has he joined his church after the infamous resignation? Such are the people who speak for this government. Complete disaster!
so if you didn't know why did you say it? you open your mouth wide and accuse, accuse, accuse, why you don't have home training or what. now you apologize, i wish you will apologize for all the other ***barred word*** that has come out of your mouth since you came on the scene. anam.

I REALLY LIKE THIS HIGH COMMISSIONER AND ITS GOOD HE RESPONDED AND CLEARED EVERYTHING WELL DONE SIR.
