On Saturday January 7 2017, I took one of my last executive actions as a High Commissioner. I took down President Mahama’s portrait at its place of honour on one of the walls of the Head of Mission’s residence. I followed up with a whatsApp instruction to the Head of Chancery to do the same at the chancery building first thing Monday morning. After bringing down the portrait, I looked round the room and the flag of Ghana and Coat of Arms stared back at me…There was no taking them down. There may have been a change of portraits, but Ghana remains Ghana and our loyalty to flag and country inviolable.
