The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Wednesday, swore in three new Ambassadors, who are to safeguard and promote the image and interests of Ghana outside her shores in Japan, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.
They are Mr. Frank Okyere, Ghana’s Ambassador to Japan; Eric Odoi-Anim, Ghana’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe; and Mrs Amma Adomaa Twum-Amoah, Ghana’s Ambassador to Ethiopia.
Reminding the Ambassadors about their roles, President Akufo-Addo told the three envoys and High Commissioners that they must bear in mind the fact that they have a responsibility of preserving and promoting the image of a country whose reputation amongst the comity of nations is high.
President Akufo-Addo told the new envoys that his government has made it a policy to seek more private sector equity financing for infrastructure projects.
This, he added, means that the new envoys have a responsibility to drive private sector investment into Ghana.
The President admonished them to work closely with the Ministries and Agencies in Ghana whose role it is to generate investment in the country, urging them to remember vividly the slogans of the government’s flagship programmes, 1-District-1-Factory; 1-Village-1-Dam; Planting for Food and Jobs.
Additionally, President Akufo-Addo advised the 3 new envoys to develop cordial working relations with the professional Foreign Service officers they will find at their duty posts, and also with members of the Ghanaian communities in their respective countries.
“Ghana is on very good and cordial terms with all the countries to which you have been posted. Our bilateral relations span several decades, and our ties of co-operation remain strong. Your role is to deepen these even further, as well as explore other areas of effective co-operation, which will inure to the mutual benefit of our respective populations,” President Akufo-Addo added.

Am getting disappointed in this nation and its leaders. Instead of working to make life better for its citizens, all they do is to redistribute existing jobs to unqualified/ incapable foot-soldiers who do nothing but create imaginary enemy and spend all their working hours strategizing to conquer those silly imagery. You have all the powers of this land to enforce laws, rules or even your views as a president singularly legally and even by non legal means such as moral suasion. Can our President start working and stop these ***barred word***? Well if you do not know our problems let me try listing some to you MR President. 1. Indiscipline on our roads. Your Appointees use sirens to push their way through the messed roads each day. Without Sirens, the Trotro drivers us pavement and any other forms of tactics to create traffic by packing at the edge of the buss stop rather than entering so they can deny all their colleagues from picking other passengers. 2. Sooo many bad roads remain just at they were when we sacked Mahama and your appointees are doing noting not even to fill them up with soil. 3. District assemblies still do not give permits unless you have bribed some middle man to get a permit for building or setting up your business 4. The police are still begging us at check points for "Something for the boy" openly 5. I need not talk of the insecurity and robberies. 6. Even when you have started "Planting for food and jobs" Food stuffs are more expensive now and Ghana has become more expensive without added value than many other African Countries, so the Nigerians for instance now flood Gh with their cars rather come use our poor Transportation system. 7. Chiefs are still engaging in multiple sale of a single land because, your appointee at Land Commission has not solve any problem as we had with JDM days so we are in the same old mess. 8. Ghana is still smelling and dirty even though you for the very fist time in Ghana, have a sanitation minister Well Mr President, these are just a few things you need to focus on NOT the Imaginary enemies you and your people are creating. Mind you, there are lots of people out there on my kind who do not bear party cards and voted because we want to depart from way things had been in this country. I can personally feel, that you are loosing the votes of my kind and i know your foot-soldiers will come advising you that " Dont mind they, they cant change anything at the elections" be more worried when people stat saying "lets keep quiet and not say anything" I rest my case..
Oh Ghananians, why do we do this to ourselves. So sad.
