A daughter of the former Member of Parliament for the Asunafo South constituency who has been banned from entering the UK, is asking authorities and Ghanaians to blame her for the father’s woes with the UK government.

She intimated that until her father got in touch with her recently to return to Ghana, she deliberately absconded upon reaching UK with the Father.

George Boakye, former MP for Asunafo South in the Brong Ahafo Region, and three current MPs have been cited by the UK authorities for alleged visa offences and are facing a 10-year visa ban by the UK government.

The others include: Richard Acheampong, MP for Bia East in the Western Region; Joseph Benhazin Dahah, MP for Asutifi North (Ntotroso) in the Brong Ahafo Region; Johnson Kwaku Adu, MP for Ahafo Ano South West in the Ashanti Region.

Mr. Boakye was faulted for using his diplomatic passport to aid his daughter into the UK.

His 43-year-old daughter, Joyce BOAKYE has been in the UK illegally for over three years, having traveled with her Honourable father on 17/01/2013.

Speaking on Accra-based Citi FM, Joyce Boakye said until her return to the country just last month, she had all this while stayed in that country with her supposed boy friend, whom she sneaked to live with after she landed in UK with her father.

“I went with my Father and I told him I was leaving for town but I never returned. That is how I ended up overstaying my visit to the UK. I met my boy friend in town and subsequently stayed with him. I switched off my phone and removed the chip so that when my Dad attempts to reach me on phone he’ll be unsuccessful. That is why I didn’t return to Ghana with my Father.

“I don’t call my Father and I don’t know how come he finally got my number, but I’ve been calling my mum though. There is no network where my mother lives so she has to leave her house before we can talk. As for my Dad, he doesn’t have my contact at all, so I’m wondering how he got my number to tell me to come home. I’d planned to return to Ghana with my boyfriend at his convenience.

“I’m pleading with my Father and Ghanaians to forgive me. When I arrived my Father and I went to see the British High Commissioner and we pleaded with him too.”
