I won’t resign –Ambassador Ayisi Boateng hits back at his critics
Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa, George Ayisi Boateng has asked persons criticizing him especially members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over his comments and calling for his head to use legal means to do so, insisting he won’t resign.
“Those calling for my dismissal should go to court”, the embattled leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) said.
The Minority Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, asking Ambassador George Ayisi Boateng to voluntarily resign of as a High Commissioner or be fired for stating publicly that his first commitment as a public officer is to members of members of New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“I am not Honourable and he can go to court for my dismissal”, the soft spoken and astute politician told host of Nhyira FM morning show hosted by Aduanaba Kofi Asante Enning.
According to him, he means nothing bad to have said, appointees of the government must give much attention to NPP members in terms of jobs and other benefits.
“Worse things even happened under the late President Mills. …He is also on record to have directed his appointees then to pay attention to NDC members at the time”, he recollects.
“What I have said is nothing. …I have done nothing wrong” Mr. George Ayisi Boateng insisted during telephone interview.
The embattled High Commissioner who was addressing NPP, Tertiary Students’ Confederacy Network (TESCON) at the Kumasi Technical University reinforced the point that his priority in terms of jobs will be members of the elephant family.
“Indeed I’m not boasting, but I’ve started meeting the NPP groups. Every weekend I meet some group members and I tell you if I had my way, every job opportunity that will come will go to a TESCON member before any other person. And I know my colleague appointees also have the same feeling except that because of IMF we cannot do anything now,” he said.
“A TESCON member is my priority, an NPP member is my priority. We are all Ghanaians but some are more Ghanaian than others….this government is doing its best to create job opportunities and me for instance, I told my people over there [that], it is because of NPP that I’m here, so the NPP man is my priority. I told them when NDC was in power it was Kwesi Ahwoi who was there, now we are in power, so Ayisi-Boateng is here with you. My topmost priority is the problems of an NPP person before any other Ghanaian, take it or leave it,” he said.
