Member of Parliament for Abirem and former Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, Charles Asuako Owiredu, has expressed concern about the recall of three ambassadors by President John Dramani Mahama despite their appointment only six months ago.

President John Dramani Mahama has nominated 15 individuals for appointment as ambassadors, High Commissioners, and Consul-Generals designated to represent Ghana in various countries across the globe.

Taking to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend, the opposition MP criticised the decision to replace Ambassador Vivian Kafui Asempapa (Senegal), Matilda Alomatu (Austria), and Regina Appiah-Sam (Spain), all seasoned diplomats who have spent over two decades serving in Ghana's foreign service. "These 3 Ambassadors, Vivian Kafui Asempapa (Senegal), Matilda Alomatu (Austria), and Regina Appiah-Sam (Spain) were recruited into our Ministry of Foreign Affairs under President Jerry Rawlings and Foreign Minister Victor Gbeho in 1999.

By dint of their hard work, they rose through the ranks and were commissioned as ambassadors by President Akufo-Addo in November 2024 after 26 years working at the Foreign Ministry," he said.
