Devant writes Ghana on Le Hunte

He asked Ayorkor Botchwey to confirm that Le Hunte’s Ghanaian citizenship was revoked within,” a mere three days and in accordance with the laws of Ghana with a renunciation certificate being issued as required.” Le Hunte was first sworn in on August 24.

However his appointment was revoked on Monday when it was discovered that he had Ghanaian citizenship. Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley resumed control of the Public Utilities portfolio until Le Hunte’s situation was rectified.

The Office of the Prime Minister said on Monday the matter would be rectified by yesterday.

Maharaj, in his letter, also asked whether Le Hunte was afforded any special treatment by the Ghanaian government, “to expedite this process.” In a separate statement, Maharaj described the second swearing in of Le Hunte as an insult to this country’s democratic principles. After his swearing in, Le Hunte apologised to Rowley and the nation.

Le Hunte said the blame was his and no one else’s.
