The group of appointees includes three High Commissioners and five Ambassadors, all entrusted with the critical task of representing Ghana in various countries and international organisations.

In his address, President Akufo-Addo emphasised these diplomats' critical role in advancing Ghana’s interests and enhancing its international reputation. “Your primary responsibility is to promote the image of Ghana as a stable, peaceful, and forward-looking country,” he stated.

Asante has faced controversy in the past, including being accused of slashing the budget estimates for the legislature and the judiciary in 2021.

Former Majority leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu later recanted that position.

Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said he never said Asante Bediatuo unilaterally wrote the letter cutting the budget estimates.
