Ghanaian minister fired for saying she plans to make $1million from politics

A Ghanaian female deputy minister has been dismissed by the
country’s President John Dramani Mahama after she allegedly said
she will not quit politics until she makes at least one million
dollars.
Deputy Minister of Communication, Victoria Hammah, (pictured

tape to radio stations saying she would not quit politics until she’s
rich
The voice purported to be that of Victoria Hammah is heard telling
a female companion
“I will not quit politics until I make one million dollars. If you have
money then you can control people.” She also criticized another
minister, the deputy minister of gender, children and social
protection, Rachel Appoh, in the leaked tape. She said “it was
useless for the deputy minister to fight Nana Lithur whose
husband is friends with former President Jerry Rawlings and was
President Mahama’s lawyer during the 2012 election challenge.
She cannot boast of 100,000 Ghana cedis or 100,000 dollars.
The Ghanaian government released a statement today announcing
her dismissal, but didn’t give any reason for the sack. That’s how
politics works in Ghana. She was sacked for what she intended to
do and not what she’s done already. Nigeria should learn from
this. #dropsmic!
