The Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak has described action of the Foreign Affairs minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, of cutting the National Flag in China, as a sign of disrespect for Ghana and has to be cautioned for repeating such acts in the future.
He also raised legal concerns to what the law says to those who disobey to give the National flag the needed respect it deserves.
He said that these acts have the tendency of ridiculing the official national flag or emblem of Ghana.
“What the Minister for Foreign Affairs, our Ambassador in China and other staff of the Ministry did in the attached photo constitutes mutilation of the National Flag,” he said.
In a Facebook post, Ras Mubarak said, “in many jurisdictions, the Minister would have been in serious trouble for mutating or desecrating our national flag in public.”
