It is with deep sadness that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration (MFARI – Ghana) is announcing the sudden demise of Ambassador James Emmanuel Kwegyir Aggrey-Orleans, which sad event occurred at the dawn of November 19, 2018.
Ambassador Aggrey-Orleans joined the Administrative Class of the Ghana Foreign and Diplomatic Service in 1963 and became well known for his professionalism and versatility.
The highlights of his distinguished career include his role as Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom (UK) and his appointment as Acting Clerk to Parliament and the Head of the Parliamentary Service.
He was also appointed and served as Assistant Director (In-Charge of the Economic Information and Market Intelligence Division) of the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO), a commodity organisation established in 1987 by the United Nations (UN) to promote tropical Forest Conservation and Timber trade.
Ambassador Aggrey-Orleans is remembered for maintaining very close links with the Ministry even after his voluntary retirement.
The Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey has since visited the bereaved family to commiserate with them.
She was accompanied by the Chief Director of the Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Albert Yankey, Director – Office of the Hon. Minister, Mrs Sena Siaw – Boateng and the Chief of Protocol Mr Samuel Kumah.
On behalf of the Hon. Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Management and Staff of MFARI – Ghana, we extend to Mrs Agnes Aggrey-Orleans, also a Retired Career Diplomat and the bereaved family our deepest condolences.
May the soul of Ambassador James Emmanuel Kwegir Aggrey-Orleans rest in Peace

May the good man's soul rest in perfect peace. Now Ayorkor Botchwey, when are you going to live up to standards befitting of a parliamentarian by looking after your constituency? When was the last time you visited Sowutuom especially Last Stop. There is no bus or trotro terminal, No market and most annoyingly the roads are so bad it beggars belief. The road directly by the Municipal assembly and close to the Puma filling station is so bad that you can see it from space. It's a disgrace. Stop concentrating on your over ponced face and work a bit for your constituents wai? Thank you
