Chef Ebenezer Smith recently faced scrutiny after it was revealed that he is not a member of the Chefs’ Association of Ghana, despite prominently displaying the association’s logo during his attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking session.
Wearing a jacket adorned with the association’s logo, Mr. Smith gave the impression that he was affiliated with and endorsed by the group.
However, Peter Agbovi, the National Secretary of the Chefs’ Association, clarified that Mr. Smith has never been a registered member.
The association notified Mr. Smith to rectify the situation by formally joining, but he did not comply. “We observed he was wearing a jacket with our logo and contacted him, explaining that he must become a registered member to use it,” Agbovi explained in an interview with GHOne TV. “He did not share his videos on our social media platforms because he wasn’t an official member and ignored our registration request. We only heard from him yesterday, during his press conference.”
