  This guy has what it takes to do the job. We have such people in diaspora but our government won't recruit them. Government can use him in the one district one factory program.

  Kwame Acheampong is definitely a great resource Ghana can explore in the field of trade and public policies. If oil rich Texas recognizes his expertise, Ghana can do likewise. As an educated Ghanaian in the U.S., I have come across and know many Ghanaian intellectuals with diverse background in the United States who are available to help make Ghana the "true beacon of hope" for all. Let's utilize the combined "sea of knowledge and talents" that Ghanaians in the diaspora, have accumulated for the betterment of Ghana. We are ready to return home to assist our beloved Ghana in developing a true sense of governance, accountabilty and democratic capitalism.

  The government has a penchant for pedantics regarding involving Ghanaians in the diaspora but it is all chatter and empty rhetoric. For 30 years, we have had a white American as the Ghana Honorary Consul to Houston when we have very qualified people like Kwame who could better do the job of promoting foreign investment in Ghana. The Consul's job is not only about issuing visas but creating trading relationships for Ghana and in that regard, the current Consul has failed abysmally.
  Besides running to Ghana every 3 months to ingratiate himself with the officials and singing their praises to ensure that he keeps the job, he doesn't really do much. To add insult to injury, not a single Ghanaian works or has ever worked in his office. And now he has his grandchildren working over there as he physically does not do any of the work.Is the Consul job a dynasty to be passed on from generation to generation? And what is he hiding by excluding Ghanaians from working at his office? We appreciate his service but 30 years is enough as we have enough qualified Ghanaians in Houston with the advantage of understanding the culture and economic dynamics of the country who can do a better job. And you should never discount the intangible benefit of patriotism and loyalty to one's place of birth, no matter how long one has been away. The current Consul's loyalty when push comes to shove is to the USA and not to Ghana. He needs to go!

  I respectfully disagree with you in terms of the consulate in Houston, this office is the most efficient among any that I have visited in the world, why don't you try the Washington office and experience how abysmal and sorry service they provide, those who answer calls don't even give out their names they claim it is the policy of the office. Mr. Kwame Boateng is no doubt a great resource, there can always be a new portfolio created for such a talent but please hands off the guy at Houston, if we could get a quarter of his service and care from Ghanaians holding such responsibilities anywhere, Ghana might have turned the corner long long time ago.

  Interesting to see Ghana flag as well as the American flag in his new office.
