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.

ONE OF THE ***barred word*** ENTITIES...U APOLOGIZE CUS HE IS WHITE. YOU APOLOGIZE CUS HE MIGHT TURN DOWN YOUR VISA. BUT IF IT HAD BEEN A GHANAIAN, YOU WOULD HAVE HELD UP YOUR ***barred word*** BRAVADO HIGH. OFUYE
The British people do not want twerps like Twum Boafo in English soil. Benjamin is being diplomatic like the typical British. That's the end of the name TWUM BOAFO at the British High commission. Anyone with the name TWUM-BOAFO will be denied a visa. Mark it. Next time think before you open you mouth.
THE PICTURE OF NDC
Bcoz of the fear of being denied a UK visa, see how an arrogant and disrespectful Twum Boafo hurriedly apologize and retract his erroneous statement
Agya Yaw, "twerk" is a verb but what you wanted to say was t*w*e*r*p*which is either an attribute or adjective qualifying a noun. The least said about the KNUST "TRAINED" individual the better. I believe, he passed through the university without the university passing through him.
***barred word*** TWUM BOAFO. HAVE YOU APOLOGISED TO YOUR FATHER FOR CHOPPING HIS WIFE? YOU APOLOGISE TO THE WHITEMAN FOR MAKING A FALSE STATEMENT. YOU WILL ALWAYS LICK THE WHITEMAN'S BACKSIDE. GOOD FOR NOTHING BEING.
This are the people hold position in government. Lies Lies n Lies. God save mother Ghana
When you listen to the effusions of this twerk called Kwadwo Twum Boafo you are immediately lost for words in unbelief that Ghana can have his kind as leaders of our dear nation. Every word he ever speaks are like flatulence of a beans eating youth. For me, he is always pouring sand into the NDC image. Very sad indeed!!!!
