Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria Hammah, has been sacked by President John Mahama. This was made known in a statement signed by the Minister for Information, Mr Mahama Ayariga.
“His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama has relieved Ms. Victoria Hammah, Deputy Minister of Communications of her post as Deputy Minister,” the statement read.
No reason was given for the dismissal.
The dismissal is, however, likely to be in connection with a leaked tape, in which a voice purported to be that of the deputy Minister is heard saying she would stay in politics until she has made $1m.
“If you have money then you can control people,” she said on the tape which has gone viral on the internet, and is the subject of media discussions across the country.
She is also heard making derogatory remarks about Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Rachel Appoh.
Ms Hammah also claimed to have heard that Nana Oye Lithur, the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, played a fundamental role in securing a favourable verdict for President John Mahama in the recently-concluded election petition hearing.
Ms Hammah has yet to speak on the development.
