What is the need for appointing Amb. for In-Situ and reappointing Amb at large?—Adongo
A well-known Ghanaian social commentator Richard Adongo has questioned government motivation in appointing someone as Ambassador ‘In-Situ’. Apexnewsgh.com report President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has on Thursday, 7th July, 2022 presented credentials to ten persons appointed as ambassadors. The appointment is in consultation with the Council of State, in accordance with Article 74(1) of the Constitution, to safeguard and promote the image and interests of the nation outside the shores. However, Mr. Adongo who appeared disappointed with some of the appointment told Apexnewsgh.com on Thursday, July 28, 2022, that the President’s appointment of a new ambassador In-Situ and reappointment of someone as Ambassador At Large is enough evidence that there is enough in Ghana to waste. “Anybody who says this government has no money is not true, this government has a lot of money, and let me give some examples”. He said: “It was in this government we heard the term “Ambassador At Large” we have never heard it from anybody from any government since 1992 that somebody is called Ambassador At Large. This government created that portfolio”. According to Mr. Adongo, when President first made the appointment in the past, Ghanaians were not very excited about that particular appointment in the past. “As am talking to you, the government has appointed another ambassador, and this time, the ‘In-Situ’ and as of now, I don’t know what Ambassador In-Situ means for Ghanaians. What is this new appointment for? He asked “Ambassador In-Situ has the same status equivalent to the Minister of State. So, whatever ambassadors will take, that guy will take the same thing. So, why will the President tell us there is no money and one breathe he will be making such an appointment? Why should President appoints as ambassador In-Situ at this time everyone is crying that things are tough” He laments “If the President said he cannot cut down his ministers, he shouldn’t add more to it. Somebody should tell me what an ambassador In-Situ means”. “I am told the Inland port in Accra or where has a CEO, where is the Inland port? So, who can convince me now that there is no money in the system? “There is money to pay NABCO, there is money to pay workers in this country. If you like do the calculation for what a minister of state takes home every month and multiply what the government is going to pay the person appointed Ambassador In-Situ”. Mr. Adongo insists that the salary for Ambassador In-Situ and conditions of service can pay up to 100 NABCO beneficiaries each month.

JUST IN: Statue of more resemblance of late President Mills has emerged
The former Member of Parliament for the Binduri Constituency Dr. Robert Baba Kuganab-Lem has said a bolga based artist has in his possession a statue of the late president Mills which has more resemblance to the late President than what was seen at the Asomdwee Park. Apexnewsgh.com report According to the former MP, the nice-looking burst was built in Bolgatanga way back in 2016 in honor of the late former President Mills after some young men in Bolgatanga came together and decided that, following his decent and exemplary life he lived there was the need to form an Atta-Mills Virtues Club to look critically at his life and then establish critical values he stood for and let these guide their daily lives and that these values will also permeate this generation and generations to come. The John Evans Atta-Mills 10th commemorative lecture was held in memory of the former President as part of activities to mark the 10th anniversary of his death. The organized J.E.A. Mills Memorial Heritage lecture was on the theme: “The man John Evans Atta Mills – Ten years on”. However, the 10 years of remembrance of the late former President did not come without any controversy surrounding it.As Mr. Koku Ayidoho former deputy national secretary of the NDC at a time was busy refurbishing the Asomdwee Park in honor of his former boss, it appears the family of former President Mills has no official knowledge about Koku Ayidoho’s plans for the anniversary. The head of former President Mills’s family believes Mr. Ayidoho only used the so-called refurbishing to promote themselves and their institute and to promote their paymasters. Another aspect that has generated controversy, was the burst built by Mr. Koku Ayindoho and the government in honor of the late President Mills. The statue has received a lot of criticism from some Ghanaians because the name of the late President Mills was missing from it. Meanwhile, just a few days after the 10 years anniversary of the passing of the former late President Mills, The former Binduri MP Dr. Robert Baba Kuganab-Lem has challenged the quality of the statue produced by Mr. Ayidoho and the government in honor of his late boss. Dr. Kuganab-Lem holds the view that the statue is not a true representation of the former president and should be replaced with the burst in bolga. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
