Ghana�s Foreign Affairs Minister, Hanna Tetteh, took on the US Embassy in her country, on social media site Twitter, over a cheeky tweet at her country�s president by the Embassy�s official twitter handle. The US Embassy�s twitter handle posted what some critics have described as a flippant retort to a tweet by President John Mahama, which said: �As a people, we have had to make sacrifices. I wish to assure you that the results of these sacrifices would begin to show very soon.� �And what sacrifices are you making? Don't tell me that pay cut,� was the riposte from the Embassy's handle. This sparked a social media blitz with critics taking on the Embassy over what the Mission later said was a mix-up. �The earlier errant tweet was a private message mistakenly sent out on our account. The views expressed in no way reflect the views of the United States Government or the U.S. Embassy.� The Embassy also said steps have been taken �to ensure that all of our employees fully understand their responsibility toward carefully managing our public outreach through social media.� �We have apologised to the president and we offer an apology to the Ghanaian people. Our staff mixed a personal handle with that of the embassy's,� the Embassy stressed. Hanna Tetteh, in a response tweeted that �the tweet was public & associated with your twitter handle. It was not a private/personal account.� One of the critics of the errant tweet was Ghana�s National Youth Authority boss, Ras Mubarak, who demanded, via Facebook, that the US Ambassador be summoned by Hanna Tetteh, to explain the �diplomatic blunder.� �To have the official US Embassy account respond to a tweet by President Mahama in such disrespectful terms is unforgivable," Mubarak fumed. However, some Ghanaians on social media, including Egbert Faibille Jr., a Lawyer, have criticised the Foreign Affairs Minister's tweet-fight with the US Embassy.
