This Idiot Jon Benjamin must respect our MPS and the people of Ghana. It is incorrect to label our honorables as criminals of common rights over a simple visa. This is a private affair that should be between the consulate and the Mps. It looks Jon Benjamin is politicalising this issue to create a national division to his advantage. What is his advantage of making this to our public ? Yesteryears colonialism and imperialism at work !

Mannnn stop the yaali yaali and tell your mp to fix his country like the Malaystans did so nieces and nephews don't go there and abuse the system. They are probably tired of them.

When you are a public official very few things you do is private, most of your life is an open book (and that is why you have to be careful what you do) --and by the way doing visa fraud is a crime. Many nominees for high public offices and potential government officials in the law abiding countries have been dropped because of hiring undocumented domestic workers in the past. There is nothing cultural about lying or fraud. There are several things you can do for your constituents without indulging in fraud. I am glad the ambassador is calling them out.

John Benjamin still believes Ghana is a colony to the British empire. I agree that since the Ambassador arrived in this country his utterances show he has no respect for Ghanaians.

The British High Commissioner has demonstrated bias in this issue.

Can his outfit admit that they have scrutinized the MPs. IS this an isolated case?

This is absolute stupidity on the part of the 4 politicians,they should have to been a life ban.why did they abuse their office,Every country has rules and regulations laid down before entering into a particular country,and if they though they thought they could use a diplomatic passport to obtain visas for their wives and children,they must not forget it will come a time they will looking ways to regularized their stay.and that will be the time the home office will have all the ammunition to deport them back without any shadow of doubt. New Immigrations laws are changing drastically in europe and America,Anyone who abscond his visa is doing more harm than good to his or her future in these countries.Next month the UK boarder enforcement will be deportong 300ghanaians,460 Nigerians,90 jamaicans.

Britain's ambassador to Chile has been forced to apologise for what was meant to be a private Twitter jibe against Argentina and its defeat in the Falklands war.

Jon Benjamin, a diplomat for more than 25 years, was so happy about getting a ticket to World Cup qualifying clash between the South American countries in Santiago on Tuesday that he went more public than he meant with a posting.

Adopting a Chilean football taunt that goes "Argentines, faggots, you lost the Malvinas because you are idiots", Benjamin tweeted in Spanish, asking: "Which islands did they take off who and for being what?" But he forgot to make it private.

Twitter criticism of the self-styled "Hammers fan, Londoner at heart, Jewish atheist" included threats of violence and antisemitic

The British treat us like shit and we hail them. If the man was not law abiding would he do everything possible to bring back his adult daughter who has changed her mind and decided to stay on? Would Jon Nenjamin treat an European similarly? You set impossible standards for Africans and decriminalize them when they break your supposed law, and wickedly you would want the whole world to punish your said victim. The ritish must change their attitude towards Africans.

The man is representing his country so what do we expect? Do we know how long he has been dealing with these illegal migrants issue? Maybe, he is taking this drastic measure to see if this will help stop it. We have no one but ourselves to blame. Our honorables are not honorables after all! If we respect ourselves others will also respect us. Once my uncle told me he managed to get all the necessary clearance to enter the US by help of these our honorables but luck eluded him when the Ghana Airways colapsed within days. So you see, if we dont regard our institutions we don't have to blame them that are protecting their institutions. They represent their countries interest not Ghana's interest. I dont see any wrong doing by Jon Benjamin. If he keeps telling them in secret and they don't listen he has to make it public. it is even in the Bible. That would deter others.

We should not condone criminal act. The truth is that the MPs violated the immigration laws of another country. They should be punished accordingly. We may call them honourables but their behaviour will not classify them as such. They are just mere civil servants who are supposed to uphold the laws and lead by example.
We have allowed them in Ghana to LORD over us and we continue to do so.
They have no regard to the laws of Ghana but we sing their praises. But in the eyes of the white man, nobody is above the law.
I will be asking our President to introduce a bill in parliament for the title HONOURABLE to be dropped and replaced with SERVANT soon.
This has nothing to do with British Ambassador respecting our MPs.

It is about the fact that in the eyes of white man, nobody is above the law as it seems to be the case in Ghana

It is unfortunate and sad that UK is a country which believes in the rule of law whereas Ghana is not. In UK, no one is above the law, not even members of the royal family. The MPs in Ghana should be law abiding citizens and holder of a diplomatic passport enjoys certain privileges and must NOT abuse those privileges. They should know better when we talk about rule of law. That is why they are called honourable. If a UK citizen guarantees an individual to obtain a visiting visa, it is the responsibility of that citizen to see to it that the visitor returns to the country of origin within the stipulated time, otherwise that citizen looses thi s basic human rights. Ghanaians must learn to be law abiding. It is the only way the country will develop.

When our MPs learn to respect themselves as representatives of the people and as Lawmakers of the land they are law abiding citizens they'd have earned for themselves respect from others far and near. How would anyone respect them when some of them are no better than riffraff,street gangsters? Some of them are no better than street pickpockets and armed robbers. People want to see them lead by example. Change starts from the head because when the head moves the rest of the body follows. Respect is always earned. If it's demanded then it ceases to be respect.

I don't think Mr Oscar -Doe really understands what the contention of the matter is---one of the applicants had the relative overstayed (for 3years) contrary to what was said to be an ordinary visit--as to who qualifies as a relative in the Ghanaian parlance here is irrelevant to the Commisioner--whether if it a whole community or not
The other one in question took a minor and a lady purported to be a visit and came back without both--contrary to his reason of visit---inspite of the fact that such request was granted on basis of his diplomatic passport status--
The third one took a lady he purported to be his wife and is unable to produce document to sustaintiatensure
