Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed claims that the recall of Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, was a targeted action, insisting the decision was taken in response to allegations and not a declaration of guilt.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0Asempa FM\u2019s\u00a0Ekosii Sen<\/em>\u00a0show<\/strong>, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said the government acted on the information available at the time and in line with its commitment to transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf investigations indicate that Baba Jamal was not involved in any bribery, he will be cleared, the decision will be reversed, and he will walk as a free man,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He explained that there is no law preventing a High Commissioner from contesting in internal party primaries, adding that such an appointment only becomes untenable if the individual wins a parliamentary seat.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, the recall was meant to send a clear signal that allegations of vote buying will not be tolerated, while allowing due process to take its course.<\/p>\n
