Samuel Abu Jinapor represents Damongo and leads the Foreign Affairs Committee opposition team. He attacked Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa for badly managing the Washington embassy corruption case. The embassy shut down Monday after Fred Kwarteng ran a five-year fraud scheme there. Kwarteng worked as local IT staff and created fake website links without permission. He sent visa seekers to his private business Ghana Travel Consultants and took their money.

Government officials fired Kwarteng and sent home all local workers from the embassy. They called back foreign service officers to Accra for questioning about the corruption. Jinapor said these actions hurt worker confidence and damaged the diplomatic service reputation. Embassy staff at other missions around the world feel bad about their jobs after the minister's decisions. The Damongo lawmaker called Ablakwa's response rushed and shameful since the embassy reopened after just three days.
