Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

Our Ambassadors conduct due diligence on companies seeking to do business with the Government of Ghana. How could the previous and current Ambassadors in Tokyo have overlooked the need to conduct background checks on the so-called NGO before leasing part of the Embassy complex to them, knowing very well that they were bound by rules to protect the image of Ghana and its Diplomatic Mission? Both the past and current Ambassadors do not deserve the enviable position of Ambassador if they forgot the elementary rule on due diligence. Or, is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs trying to cover up for them?

I also find the information puzzling. Take a look at this sentence.
"Japanese investigators had earlier stated that a rental contract to the tune of a monthly payment of 500,000 Yen or $4,923.50 was entered into, using the name of the previous Ghanaian envoy to Japan, Dr. William Mensah Brandful's document which was signed at the ambassador's residence."
So who agreed those terms and signed the agreement? Apparently the previous Ambassador agreed the terms but couldn't sign before his departure? New Ambassador signed without the need to xcheck anything again, eh? Some heads must roll, esp. the heads of the Embassy staff who handled the brief. They failed to do their duty.

Thanks, Sarpong, for the explanation. The whole thing just didn't make sense to me. This particular reporter is mischievous. I read one other report which said the current Ambassador is a career diplomat; appointed as diplomat prior to his retirement, I suppose. It is a normal practice as a reward for long service the world over. It is a pity that he has been caught up in this mess not of his doing. He should have reviewed the contract though before renewing it.
It is simply amazing that they'd rent out part of the Embassy premises to a gambling company, with Russian roulettes, One-armed bandits and all! Phew! And I was thinking they were all bleeding heart believers! I think this calls for another day of prayers to save the souls of Ghanaians from the ever burning eternal fire!

The issue here is, the Mahama led criminally corrupt mafia government have had their pants shamefully down this time in far away Japan where the police and the security operative are much more independence and professionally well equipped and can't be bribe.
Any newly appointed Ambassador is definitely grieved by the out going Ambassador and the technocrats of the Embassy on the assigned mission including the cordiality of historic diplomatic relationship Ghana and Japan enjoy, properties of the Ghana embassy and all that.
If the statement here is the Ambassadors defense in such shameful diplomatic embarrassment brought to Ghana, then he and his "woyomenized" materially centered masters better
advise.
Assuming the Ambassador's explaination here is even right, is he telling us that he did not take time to inspect the property to know the details before signing? Was he high on drugs or drunk when signing the document? Tweaaaaa! and he's an appointed Ambassador? Somebody help me here!
By this childish elementary excuse typical of bigotry guinea fowl Mahama led minded NDC gangsters, and the low degraded politics being exhibited by the little minded Asiedu Nketias, Ablakwas, Yaw Boateng Djans, the prostitute Desosus, Baba Jamals and co, Ghanaians now know how bad and dangerous our country led by such riffraff political sychophants has entered into contracts giving out for free our resources and rights without Ghana's political representatives necessarily knowing or understanding details of document they sign on our behalf.
It is likely we will wake up one morning with announcement Togo saying, they own Ghana and her entire people with prove of signed document. Ghana under Mahama is politically laughable.
Ghana is indeed has become a fertile grounds for all sorts of criminals as we are led by "mumu" social political and diplomatically unqualified criminal zombies.
We have completely destroyed the political self esteem great Osagyafo and his compatriots laid down their lives including all those who died for our freedom.

For the information of the ignoramuses who are posting comments to condemn our Ambassador, the various embassies and high commissions we see around do not just exist to grant or refuse visa applications. Their main mandate is to look after the interests of their countries in Ghana. They do so by spying on us and gathering all sorts of information to be sent back to their home countries for decisions to be made concerning Ghana and also for actions to be taken to secure their national interest as far as Ghana is concerned. Naturally, Ghanaian embassies across the world are expected to do similar jobs in the countries to which they have been sent.
In case these ignoramuses do not know how these things are done, let me educate them that a lot of dirty deals are wrought and executed by the ambassadors and high commissioners in order to get sensitive information which will help safeguard their national interests. Presidents of nations are seriously involved in such dirty deals which sometimes involves very serious bribery, assassinations, murders, plots of all kinds, sanctioned thefts, promotion of prostitution as well as gambling and the narcotic trade for the purpose of gathering information from the dregs of any society's underworld, cover-ups etc. In fact, the activities of diplomats the world over are full of cloak-and-dagger atmospherics.
It is precisely for these reasons that Presidents of nations would readily declare war if the generals of this murky diplomatic skulduggery (i.e. the ambassadors and high commissioners) are arrested to face justice in the country to which they have been sent. Therefore the various countries of the world met in Vienna several years ago and signed a treaty to exempt the Diplomatic Corps from becoming liable to face justice in the host country for their nefarious activities should they be caught doing so by the host country.
Therefore, issues of that nature are hardly admitted by the sending country when their officials are caught doing dirty deals in the host country. Such issues are usually settled quietly behind closed doors but these ignoramuses do not seem to know this and hence the reason for their display of illiteracy on this matter.
I wonder what guff Hannah Tetteh must have made on this issue on her facebook wall apart from the harmless statement that the matter is being investigated. I fear that Hannah Tetteh can easily guff on such matters since she is on record to have told American diplomats in the weakileaks that the current Chairman of the NDC party is infantile or immature in his thinking and speech. Such a loose talker who does not understand the world of diplomats should not have been made a foreign minister in the first place because she can easily give the game away any day.
A discreet silence on diplomatic issues is the best way of resolving them because such silence then enables Ghana's diplomats to work with the diplomats of the affected country to resolve them. For instance, do we know what our security agencies have uncovered over the years as regards the nefarious activities of the Japanese Embassy in Ghana which we can then use as a bargaining chip on this current case? These things are a daily reality in the world of diplomats. Is it not true that the British High Commission and the American Embassy worked hand in hand to pay bribes to General Kotoka and Afrifa and a host of others to stage the coup against Kwame Nkrumah? Who tells these ignorant journalists that such activities have come to an end and that the world is now as good and peaceful as Heaven and hence only Ghana's Ambassador Edmond Kofi Agbenutse Deh is the only diplomatic villain who deserves to be denounced even by his own people and government?

The cloack and dagger business you describe is the preserve of National Security agents who operate under the guise of diplomats at every Diplomatic Mission. Assignments that border on criminality are embarked upon strictly on directives issued by Governments of the sending State. No such assignments are undertaken without prior authorization from Government. Normal diplomats like the previous and current Ambassadors to Japan are solely charged with projecting and protecting Ghana's image and interests abroad. They mobilize investments and foreign capital for national development and cater for the welfare of Ghanaians in the receiving State. They have no business dealing with gamblers, much more rent diplomatic premises to gamblers. The rental of any part of the diplomatic property or building to any foreign entity without the express authorization of Government, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is strictly forbidden. Even where such action is deemed necessary background checks or due diligence must be conducted on the foreign entity, and prior approval sought from the Minister of Foreign Affairs before proceeding to lease out any part of the diplomatic property. There is so the question of whether or not the receiving State, in this case Japan, allows diplomatic missions to engage in the rental business. This must be established and cited as part of the justification to rent out part of the Embassy building to a local entity.
The questions to ask are whether the Government of Ghana had any business in doing business with the Gamblers, and whether the previous and current Ambassadors sought approval or authorization to deal with the Gamblers. The reaction of the Foreign Minister clearly shows that Government had no prior knowledge of the decision of the two Ambassadors to enter into that business relationship with the Gamblers. Government does not appear to have any interest in doing business with the Gamblers. So, sort to say, Mr. Kojo Azemeti, you have got it all wrong.

It is often said that assumption is the mother of all great blunders. I can see that you share the same mindset with Hannah Tetteh. Hannah Tetteh assumed that the American diplomats she was speaking to were safe for her to confide in but today, we all know that she had assumed wrongly since they are all intelligence officers in that embassy. See the weakileaks expose on Hannah Tetteh and you will understand the depth of her folly in thinking that she was speaking to people who are merely here to promote the good image of their country.
You again assumed that the Ghana Government knows nothing about our ambassador's deals with the gamblers. How childish can you be! You think that the Ghana Government would easily admit such a scandalous matter? Then you must be a kid indeed!!!
Finally, consider this: our black colour makes us very very conspicuous in a country of light skinned people like Japan. Therefore, we may need an interface to be able to gather intelligence in such an environment. How better to cultivate that interface than to use unpatriotic and conscienceless dregs of society such as gamblers, prostitutes and the like!!! Now, such people would also ask for some form of "payment" in return and the use of premises covered by diplomatic immunity may give them that sense of security to operate in confidence and to feel that the deal they have wrought is a win win situation.

Have you heard of any embassy or diplomatic asset of any country being rented out to gamblers? This very thing with Ewes trying to defend any odiuos behaviour that involves your tribesmen is what draws people to denounce your whole tribe, which as far as I am concerned is not fair to those Ewes who will take the noble stand to condemn behaviours by their tribesmen that harm Ghana. Put Ghana first, and stop your tribalistic attitude.

The truth is the truth whether it is told by an Ewe or any human being. If what I am saying makes sense then simply accept it and stop looking for the tribe or ethnic background of the person who tells the truth. We should learn to divorce ourselves from looking at everything with tribal lenses. I am rather looking at the national interest and I would have written the same thing if the ambassador concerned were an Ashanti man, Frafra man, Fanti man, Krobo man, Ga man, Gonja man or any other Ghanaian. It is just a matter of coincidence that Kojo Azemeti has written to ask for caution in the manner in which we assess and condemn an Ewe man's conduct.

Does he means that every NGO that operates in Ghana,could be given a portion of Ghana consulate enclave,for its business activities,being fair or fictitious?
NO SIR.
THE CONSULATE,I SUSPECT,IS NOT TELLING GHANAIANS THE TRUTH.
A CONSULATE PREMISES IS THE NATION,A JURISDICTION OF THAT COUNTRY.
PEOPLE CAN EVEN SEEK REFUGE THERE.
So this Ghana Consulate is telling us that he doesn't know all these?
The Japanese that rented there are big time crooks.
Gambling in general,is associated with prostitution and even drugs.
Therefore these crooks know,they are safe operating in a jurisdiction they can seek refuge,in case they might be suspected and caught.

It is indeed sad and also interesting for the story to suggest that the Ambassador was deceived to sign an agreement when he had no idea or background information of the group as an NGO.
If for the sake of cheap money, the Mission's Official residence could be used as a rental office, then the nation is in trouble. Should the Foreign Ministry tell Ghanaians if it was aware of the transactions which is claimed to have been going on before the new envoy went?
Nobody should be shielded in this scandal and heads must roll with EOCO,BNI, Ghana's Interpol as well as Parliament plus the judicial all plunging into full scale inquiries to unravel the true picture.
A similar case of a Ghanaian envoy caught in an act in Germany some years back were shredded in secrecy.
