  • GOLD COAST MAN 10 years ago

    She is much better than some ex-ministers who were masters in talking without action and honesty. Leave the lady alone and let her do her job. She is a very honest lady and we need such people in Ghana for the country to move ...

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 10 years ago

    Bah! All of you critising and insulting Ms Hammah are just small-minded simpletons who support lying with no idea about how the governance system works. The lady decided not to lie to the audience and here you are insulting h ...

    This is the way the administration flows, they are only apologizing because the 91 year old decided that she was not going to take it lying down, other wise they would have rolled over her and done the c ...

    First and foremost, your indignation should be towards the incompetent deputy minister who is paid huge sums by the Ghanaian taxpayer yet failed to do something very basic as preparing for the speech.
    She did not do her home ...

    Most of her supporters are creating straw man for their tribal and political gains. Some support her just because she is one of them and others support her just because she an NDC member. My friend, Andy is just being emotion ...

    Late night show hosts like Jay Leno ,David Letterman etc ,would have had a field day if this blunder had happened in the USA. What mediocrity !

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 10 years ago

    Nyansasem,

    I don't know about straw men and women but I know about what I think about all this hullabaloo.

    Now, I am neither NDC supporter nor a member of Ms Hammah's tribal conglomerate, whatever it is. So where does t ...

  • william 10 years ago

    Indeed. No need for Apologies but she should avoid confrontation with the press. Not necessary.

  • AMA 10 years ago

    Vicky, you are doing the right thing. Do NOT let this distract you. GO ON WITH THE GOOD JOB. A whole lot of ministers/MPs, now, and from the past, do not know what they are doing, and are anything but honest.

  • Kojo Kodua 10 years ago

    She even did well under the circumstance & shd be commended. Bravo

  • Paul Amuna 10 years ago

    This is grossly unfair to her. She was within her rights to express her feelings about what was clearly a serious breech of her ministerial and personal rights. What is wrong with that? I wouldn't apologise for speaking my mi ...

    I guess madam minister needs mental reformation in order to be fit enough for further training for this job!! She has shown gross incompetence and I think she must be substituted immediately!

    The minister knows that she was wrong and has stated that clearly here.
