Listening to the entire tape, there is no clear justification for Vicky's dismissal. What she said are things that we all discuss in private in the car or at the dinner table: how our boss is stupid and lazy, and makes you work all the time etc etc. If some unscrupulous person captures this, and releases it in public, should one be fired for that. No Way !

this woman Ursula Ekuffo, a.k.a is just blowing hot and cold air, she doesn't seems to know her leverage in contemporary Ghanaian politics. A day will come when her party will come to power and if is she found to have committed similar blunder and given the sack, it is then that she will smile pepper around her anus.

I don't know whether your problem is because you dont understand English well or not.

Ursula did not say that Victoria Hamah should not be sacked. She was just expressing concerns about why she should have been sacked with such 'alacrity'?

I am not a fan of the NPP and for obvious reasons, I am also very skeptical of our women in politics. But having said that, I dare say that Ursula is one of the most astute, brave and mature politicians of our time. I do not think that she herself realizes this great potential and skill but if she did and she used it to full advantage, Ghana can perhaps benefit considerably from her keen sense of appreciation of our national woes.

As for you Simingue and your petty partisan negative attitude of casting of ill-will upon her in future, I can only say S.H.A,M.E - shaaaaaame!

The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

The lady never said she will remain a minister until she makes a million dollar but we are making it looks like that is what she meant and even if that is what meant saying will not quit politics unless she makes 1 million dollars does not mean she definitely has to be in government to do that, it is not only people in government that are in politics.

I may tell a lady I want to impress, that I made millions of dollars from a road project and put it in a Bank in America. If this becomes public, should I be fired for that ?

She did not say she has stolen money from the government. What she said was that she WANTS TO TRY AND KEEP her current job (which happens to be in politics) till she makes 1M dollars. Aint nothing wrong with that.

So if someone said "I'm going to kill you" and you saw a gun is his hands, you'd wait until he pulled the trigger? God would be disappointed in your creation.

The lady was clearly revealing her evil intents and being frivolously romantic about it in "open places" thinking it was in secret and you want Mahama to wait until she siphoned one millions squids?

She revealed what all the Ministers think every second of the day. Now that she's gone, we can't wait for the next, and the next, and the next, until we have zero Ministers in the government. After all, they aren't doing any better job, and we have come to the conclusion their IQs aren't better than those of the Makola ladies?

What is in her mind is in the minds of others. How do you know her pep talk didn't happen anywhere else in similar conditions, depicting that's what most of them discuss?

Ministers are peers; they have the same agenda because we keep seeing unrelenting corruption every turn of sunrise. If she is corrupt, she does it with others. Is this difficult to understand?

I don't blame her, I blame the society that breeds the likes of her where impunity makes it easy to steal without getting any scratch on the skin.

Personally, a minister should not be that loose in her mind; that's overbearing, silly on the apex.

Owusu is so hollow that you simply find it impossible to get an aiota of substance from anything she says!!! You think this is not serious enough yet you accuse government of corruption and a whole lot more!!! How very ignorant!

The fact that people gossip and in your own 'stereotyping' of women, you claim they "chit chat all the time". You seem to be saying (and from your ealier comments above) that it is alright for people to behave this way!!! Don't you think it is this lack of discipline and loose tongues' that are part of our problems?

Scripture teaches us to "be aware of the loose tongue". Such loose tongues can bring a whole house, business or government down and we have seen it happen time and again.

The fact that you ZoRRo and people like you spend your time in your "private home" criticising and consdemning plus castigating others with impunity does not make it right, nor is it to be encouraged. That attitude is tantamount to coawrdice on your part and for any government appointee or public servant, if they are found out, the right and proper cause of action is to discipline them and in this case, sacking the minister is appropriate.

We cannot run a government or the state in a way in which any fool can open their loud mouth anywhere (including their home) and insult their colleagues and / or seek to bring the government into disrepute and you think it is nothing to write home about!!!

What do you think about her assertion for instance that some ministers may have influneced the judiciary? whether it is simple gossip, a 'show-off' or not, is it appropriate for a government minister to say such things? Clearly you do not understand what the responsibilities of high office mean and do not know about the ministerial code.

Either that or you are blindly supporting Ursula Owusu because she articulates what you as an individual rather want to hear. That is called foolishness and sycophancy and it is shameful that a grown up man like you should be stooping so low.

She was quoted to have said in the open she was being pushed to steal, wasn't she? We all thought that was a demonstration of courage bordering on honesty and loyalty. We now know it was a window-dressing that was set to prelude her subjectivity; making us look in a direction she would obviously not take.

FELLOW GHANAIANS!!!!

HERE, WE'RE BLURTING ABOUT THE LARGE NUMBER OF MINISTERS, WITHOUT ASKING WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXPLOITATIVELY HIGH SALARIES, ALLOWANCES, END-OF-SERVICE GRATUITY EVERY 4 YEARS REGARDLESS OF GHANA'S ECONOMIC STATUS, AND MANY MANY OTHER FREEBIES AND BRIBES THEY TAKE FOR NO PRODUCTIVE WORK DONE FOR MOTHER GHANA WHATSOEVER!!!

INDEED, IT'S NOT ONLY THE MINISTERS, BUT THE ABOUT 275 MPs WHOSE NEGATIVE PRODUCTIVITY AND COST IMPACT ON GHANA'S AILING ECONOMY CONTINUES TO LEAVE VERY VERY MUCH TO BE DESIRED.

A VIST TO ALL 275 "ABANDONED" CONSTITUENCIES IN GHANA WILL AMAZE THE VISITOR AS WHY POOR OLD SMALL COUNTRY LIKE GHANA HAS A WHOPPING 275 MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT CALLED "HONOURABLES" MY ARSE!!!

THE SAME PROFLIGACY APPLIES TO GHANA'S USELESS COUNCIL OF STATE AND CHIEFTAINCY, ALL OF WHICH DRAWS EASY MONEY FROM GHANA'S LONG-SUFFERING TAX PAYERS.

IF THIS IS NOT A CLEAR PRACTICE OF "ANIMALS' KINGDOM", I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT ONE WOULD CALL SUCH WICKEDNESS OF GHANA'S ENTIRE "LEADERSHIP".

THAT'S WHY GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MASSIVE BUDGET DEFICITS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME TO COME.

A lady approaches her priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say?" the priest inquired. "They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. 'Want to have some fun?'" "That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots whom I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship." "Thank you!" the woman responded. The next day the woman brings her female parrots to the priest's house. His two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her two female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say,"Hi, we're prostitutes, want to have some fun?" One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away. Our prayers have been answered

"Life is not measured by how much one owns." (Luke 12:15)
Losses and tragedies have a way of putting everything into perspective. They clarify your values and help you figure out some priorities. You realize what matters most. In Luke 12:15, Jesus said, "Life is not measured by how much one owns”. Don't confuse your net worth with your self worth. They are totally unrelated. Don't confuse your possessions with your position in Christ and your purpose. Don't confuse what you are living on with what you are living for. In the season of loss, you need to clarify your values and really remember what is important — relationships and people. People matter, not things. Don't lose your joy over things that are unimportant.
The Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:7, "We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out.” For real security, you have to build your life on something that cannot be taken from you. Can a job be taken from you? Yes. There is no such thing as job security. Can you lose your health? Yes. Can you lose the person you are married to? Yes. Can you lose your youthful beauty? Yes! You must build your life on the one thing that cannot be taken away from you: your relationship with God through his Son, Jesus Christ. Once you have that, you will be able to make it through your season of loss as you focus on your relationship with Christ and the people in your life. STAY BLESSED!

Why would Ursula ask such a question? Should it matter whether it hit close to home or not? And what did she expect the President to do, any alternatives? Any member of our political leadership, regardless of party, should be investigated and face the consequence if found guilty of an attempt to solicit money or steal from the state. I am sure Ursula would have preferred the Prez to do nothing so she would take the opportunity to accuse him of being weak and condoning inappropriate behavior. Well let our politicians learn to put Ghana first and stop this partisan nonsense.

Usula should know that every government appointee including the minister works "at the pleasure" of the president. So, a new and young minister of a social democratic party/government such as NDC, with such negative intent must not be given the chance. The instant dismissal was the right way! There is nothing about gender in this case. Making money is contrary to her assigned duties and responsibilities. She was placed there to render a service to the nation- Ghana, the government, and her party- the NDC. Her instant firing was therefore fully justified.

Stupid Ursula don't whip gender sentiments here. We know your intentions on this. The President hires and can fire without explanation

At least Mahama has shown he has the balls to fire his appointees; something Kuffour never did in 8 years.

Naturally this sack is uncalled for simply because in every person's life once a time we use to chart with little bragging and free talking b'cos we believe we are within our own territory, where we talk our minds freely when even sometimes things we say or tend to say may not be all trueful.

This might be the real nature of the contents of the recorded conversation between the minister and her conversation partner in question, which was painfully and wickedly recorded by the family cousin who I think while living in the house of the minister at the same time has an evil intention towards the minister.

Mahama has unknowingly opened a gate of fear into every house/family by the action taken against the lady. If all of us could face or experience this in our own house then where shall we be and feel secured with our ''free talks within our own territory''

It is naturally a sad and worrying situation because the question that may hunt every person commenting on this issue is ''have we not talked freely with people that we trust before, and somtimes say things that we shall surely never say it out side our free zone?'' If so then we need to look at this case of which our frustrated president had over acted on.

Where I found it not appreciative nor glorious that the president fired the minister Hammah is the way and the manner the cousin of the minister recorded her conversation with evil and wicked intention.

In the first place Mahama proved that the NPP frustrating tactics used on him had worked, and also it is clear that Mahama who is presently frustrated supported the evil manner the cousin of the minister acted.

One may see the president funny for not taking swift actions against the alleged corrupted guys suspected to be in the government. One school of thought may say the president might have got enough of the deputy minister hence the quick fire without many possible considerations.

This surely will in the future encourage more people to take similar steps to up set family members with similar wicked tactics. Now we shall fear our family members, a very sad, worrying and frustrating development in our nation today.
