Remove Ayisi Boateng if …OccupyGhana

Pressure group OccupyGhana is suggesting to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to remove Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa if he fails to do the honourable thing by apologising to Ghanaians.

The group further called on the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the government to denounce Mr Ayisi Boateng’s comment.

The Commissioner in an interaction with the student group of the NPP said he will place NPP supporters ahead of any other Ghanaian when it comes to employment.

Mr Ayisi has come under heavy criticism after his comment, but he has refused to retract his statement arguing that there was nothing wrong with his statement.

OccupyGhana in a statement said ,’We demand from Mr. Ayisi Boateng an unqualified apology to the people of Ghana for both his appalling initial comments and his subsequent statement expressing lack of remorse. We call on the NPP and the government to denounce the statement and demand a full retraction and apology.

‘If he should fail or refuse to do that, then we respectfully and humbly call on the President to remove Mr Ayisi Boateng from office as High Commissioner’.

The group condemned the Commissioner’s statement arguing that it’s un-befitting of an envoy and holder of a high privileged diplomatic office to spew such comment.

It further condemned the statement made by the Acting NPP Chairman, Mr. Freddie Blay  for supporting Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s position.

OCCUPYGHANA® DEMANDS AN UNQUALIFIED APOLOGY FROM MR. GEORGE AYISI BOATENG OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE HIS REMOVAL FROM OFFICE

OccupyGhana® is disgusted and appalled by High Commissioner George Ayisi Boateng’s discriminatory comments that pitched partisan interests above those of other Ghanaians. We are even more shocked by his unrepentant expression of lack of remorse in the face of the massive expressions of disappointment at his divisive comments.

We do not have to remind the High Commissioner that as a public officer of his standing, he is required to speak both with honour and from a patriotic disposition. He has failed in this regard. We do not have to remind the High Commissioner that he must operate above party cronyism and the prioritization of partisan interests above the supreme interests of the Ghanaian people. He has failed in this regard.

We do not have to remind the High Commissioner that his comments run counter to the theme of his own party’s Manifesto: “An Agenda for Change. Creating Prosperity & Equal Opportunities for All.” He has failed in this regard too.

We can not condone such statements, and we condemn them in no uncertain terms as unbefitting of an envoy and holder of a high privileged diplomatic office. We also condemn the statement made by the Acting NPP Chairman, Mr. Freddie Blay that suggested support for Mr. Ayisi Boateng’s position.

We demand from Mr. Ayisi Boateng an unqualified apology to the people of Ghana for both his appalling initial comments and his subsequent statement expressing lack of remorse. We call on the NPP and the government to denounce the statement and demand a full retraction and apology.

If he should fail or refuse to do that, then we respectfully and humbly call on the President to remove Mr Ayisi Boateng from office as High Commissioner.

Yours, for God & Country, OccupyGhana®
