Entry denied the US Ambassador to Investment Forum
for being late
By Awudu Salami Sule, Ghanadot


Accra, July 24, Ghanadot - The US Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Donald Turtlebaum was yesterday given the rude shock of his life when he was denied entry to a programme venue after arriving late.


The said programme was the Ghana Investment Forum and the US envoy was expected to give a key note address together with President Mills.
President Mills who is said to be a stickler for time and never shows up late for events arrived on time for the programme.


It was about 40 minutes later that the US envoy arrived and he was denied entry into the venue.


Some journalists and several other dignitaries were reportedly locked out because they were late.


President Mills later said, he was embarking on a personal crusade to encourage Ghanaians to change their attitude to time.


He said punctuality would also help draw investors into the country.
Addressing the opening session of the Ghana Investment Forum, the President call on Ghanaians to work according to time.


“I think that we better do things differently, because capital will move into the areas where it is most comfortable. And what contributes to the comfort is regularity, timeliness, honesty, transparency, etc.,” President Mills told participants at the forum.


President Mills said Ghana cannot attract investment if citizens continue to be tardy.


A few months ago he warned ministers of state to be punctual for Cabinet meetings and sources say most Cabinet meetings have since started on time.
