Recall Ghana's Ambassador to Japan

The attention of the leadership of NPP Asia-Pacific Caucus has been drawn to the public humiliation Ghana’s Ambassador to Japan, HE Edmound Kofi Agbenutse has brought unto our dear nation through certain undiplomatic acts and engagements of his in Tokyo, Japan.

According to the Tokyo Police and media reports, Ambassador Agbenutse who’s lavish livelihood is catered for by Ghanaian tax payers, has been using his position as the president’s representative to Japan to support illegal Baccarat gambling by making available his residence located at Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward to illegal Japanese Baccarat gamblers whiles providing these gamblers with diplomatic immunity. Instead of promoting the interest of mother Ghana, Ambassador Agbenutse is rather promoting his personal interests with these illegal gamblers.

As concerned Ghanaians in the Asia-Pacific region, we wish to condemn, in no uncertain terms, Ambassador Agbenutse’ behaviour and call on President Mahama to exhibit leadership in recalling this ambassador back to Ghana to save us from further public humiliation.

We believe, such an action by HE President Mahama will go a long way in sending a clear message to all government appointees serving in our missions abroad to sit up and engage in ventures that will promote the interest of the state rather than promoting their individual interests.
God Bless our homeland Ghana.
