He went on to advice Ghanaians not to exhibit our weaknesses because every country had its fair share of shortcomings but did not broadcast them openly.

Then deputy minister added that it was up to Ghanaians to tell their own story but make sure to be trumpeting on the positives all the time.

"Use your microphones to sell Ghana, say good things. Don’t copy Twene Jonas,” he stressed.

According to the government official, every country has got its frailties but it is up to them to let them out. Based on this, he urged people in the known to use their platforms to speak well of their country and not to emulate what Twene Jonas does usually.

When cautioned that Twene Jonas would return with a response, Mark Okraku-Mantey replied by saying that he was ready for it.
