Since Dr. Martin La Kumi, former Consul General of Ghana in Toronto, was compelled to resign in June, 2002 by the NPP stalwarts in Toronto, the Ghanaian Community and other nationals seeking consular services to Ghana have been left in the cold. An attempt by the local NPP to impose a Filipino-Canadian as the Ghana Honorary Consul general backfired in May and June 2002 amid strong protests and objections from the Ghanaian Community in Toronto and beyond. In the process the intended Filipino appointment was quietly shelved.
