Kojo Choi the newly appointed Ghana's Ambassador-designate to South Korea is a new face to many Ghanaians, despite operating a number of businesses in the country for years.
His appointment was announced on July 21, 2025, through a statement signed by the Executive Secretary of President , Dr Callistus Mahama.
His inclusion on the ambassadorial list sparked public debate, with some questioning his Ghanaian identity and whether he truly deserved the role whiles arguing that equally qualified Ghanaian-born candidates were available for consideration.
While the appointment drew criticism from certain quarters, many others including those familiar with Choi's long-standing presence in Ghana rallied in support, pointing out that he has lived in the country since childhood and has consistently demonstrated his commitment to national development.
