Hon. Kojo Adu-Asare writes: I havent been privileged to listen to the full compliment of the tape but the flash points I have listened leave me in awe and a dropped-jaw for the issues raised in the conversation. It smacks of pettiness in a litany of issues borne out of a feeling of primus intaparis first among equals. The person behind the voice tried to impress whoever she was chatting with, by veering into issues that have dire consequences on the names of people mentioned in the conversation. She tried to elevate her stature as the best personality who has been carefully appointed to the choicest ministry because shes the smartest, intelligent, competent, experienced among her fellow compatriots, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps her experience as the SRC president at the U of G over bloated her ego to a point of an ecstatic ebb, where trivialities took her the best part of her whilst unguardedly kicking innocent people into unwarranted trouble with her fantasies. I consider a number of issues raised on the tape especially the part that seeks to suggest that Mr Tony Lithur controls three Ministries as another joke, a joke because even though she didnt name the ministries, I dont see how possible that assignment can achieve any meaningful purpose, overseeing one ministry requires ones fullest attention and resourcefulness let alone three? This is an unthinkable falsehood that should be treated with the content it deserves. The attempt again to unleash such an allegation as grievous as alleging that Tony Lithur met all the judges before the Supreme Court Verdict was declared, brings about one quick question, did Tony Lithur meet the other 4 judges who voted against the Respondents too? And why did they choose to vote the way they did? These questions should attract the attention of those who are quick to draw hasty conclusions on the score of Vickys aversion. This was an attempt to peddle her influence beyond her status to an innocent listener in that conversation. That statement lacks merit and should not be swallowed hook, line and sinker by any of my cherished friends because she cannot adduce any evidence to support that claim. On the issue of making a million dollar and quitting, also smacks of wishful thinking, I have not worked as a minister or a deputy before, but as a former Member of Parliament, I have have two very close friends who have occupied that position before and are still working in that capacity, and I can confidently say that it is more impossible for one to make that kind of money as a deputy minister during ones unpredictable tenure, (since one can easily be reshuffled). The pressure of work on a daily basis and the fact that your schedule as a deputy minister is determined by the substantive Minister. (The Richael Appoh vrs Nana Oye Lithur example comes readily to mind) where and how on earth was she going to make a million dollars and quit? Vicky should school some of us, because the measures the President Mahama is putting in place to fight corruption will not countenance whatever means she had in mind to make one million US dollars. These and other such statements are those that make the politician a target of ridicule and slander. This is another low blow from Vicky to politicians in general and the NDC government in particular, u dont indict our colleagues like that with such scandalous statements.
