If a any government has a sense of moral obligation, the first thing is to carry out an investigation and if true, any such MP in office should be made to resign.

Ghanaians and begging culture, trying to extend internationally. When are we going to realize there are consequences for bad behavior. See U.K. is a law abiding nation so it is not a matter of begging. Don't go disgrace our country further. In fact misuse of diplomatic privileges should result in taking the diplomatic passport away from the culprits. Let's see what parliament does with this issue. My guess is probably nothing.

It is a serious enough matter for the Speaker to make a statement on the matter. Totally disgraceful behaviour. This has brought shame on the House and a clear statement would dispel any notion that the House condones this fraudulent carry-on. But of course, this is Ghanaian society where fraud and deceit is the norm and is deep in our DNA, and sadly MPs are no different from the rest of us. Begging is pointless and will be utterly useless, as the High Comm will be playing it by the book, and following guidelines set out in London, something that our MPs will do well to see and take on board.

I actually have a different take on this story. Why should someone be punished because they took their daughter to the UK and she did not return? Why don't you just deport the daughter? was the visa acquired illegally? if not, what has he done wrong? The UK is choked full of people who have overstayed visas. They should give us a break and focus on the eastern Europeans who are running riot in that country. This MP should not be apologizing.

Think logically. The MP was the guarantor of her daughter's application. So you are saying he did not know the whereabouts of her own daughter? THINK

Ibrahim, I agree with you fully. I travel with my daughter who is not a minor (aged 37). Why should I be held responsible for her refusal to return to Ghana? Jon Benjamin owes this man an apology for treating him as a common criminal as his letter to the Hon. Mike Ocquaye suggest. I'll advice the Hon. former minister to appeal the case by writing and making a cogent defense rather than showing weakness by apologizing. He's done nothing wrong!

Daniel, don't be stupid. He acted as a guarantor for his daughter and had a duty towards the British Government to make sure the daughter left Britain as stipulated on the visa. If the daughter refused to come back with him as planned, he should have notified the British authorities about it. Unlike Ghana in Britain it is the law that speaks. Jon Benjamin is only applying the sanctions that apply to breaking the law. Period.

UK High Commission, I will edge you to give the said names to other Embassy's instead of the plead for clemency. It is hard time Ghanaians in positions of trust become law abiding to simple rules and regulations. Ghana has become lawless for 8 years and it is now time for Ghanaians to embrace the rule of law if we want to progress as a nation. If it possible the MP should be investigated and if possible prosecuted if any wrong doing is found out.
