<\/a><\/div>\nNew Patriotic Party (NPP) National Youth Organiser, Sammy Awuku says calls for the dismissal of Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to South Africa George Ayisi Boateng is unnecessary.<\/p>\n
According to him, although the comment was unfortunate, he does not need to resign as some are clamouring for.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe comment was avoidable as a government official but I think it is unnecessary to call for his sack because of that. I am against people calling for his sack because President is the only one who can sack\u201d he said on Adom TV\u2019s Morning Show \u201cBadwam\u201d Wednesday.<\/p>\n
George Ayisi Boateng\u2019s pledge to prioritize the welfare of New Patriotic Party (NPP) members before considering other Ghanaians, has been met with outrage and calls for his dismissal from some sections of the public.<\/p>\n
He made these remarks at a ceremony over the weekend to welcome fresh members of the tertiary wing of the NPP, Tertiary Students\u2019 Confederacy Network (TESCON) at the Kumasi Technical University.<\/p>\n
\u2026 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\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed I\u2019m not boasting, but I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
Some section of the public have vented their spleen and described the comments as distasteful.<\/p>\n
Some also took offense to the undertone of partisanship and cronyism in the High Commissioner\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
But the comment according to Sammy Awuku is\u00a0not discriminatory though undeserving of a government appointee whose duty is to remain fair in the discharge of his duty.<\/p>\n
He believes the claim by Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to South that he will priorities NPP members ahead of other Ghanaians is unnecessary and should have been avoided.<\/p>\n
