TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES FIGHTING CORRUPTION: GHANAIAN PRESIDENT SACKS MINISTER OVER CORRUPTION CLAIM WHILE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT LEAVES A CORRUPTION INDICTED MINISTER IN OFFICE While Nigeria is going in circles about Minister Stella Oduah who is entangled in an embarrassing corruption maze, reports from Ghana say that Victoria Hammah, the country’s Deputy Communications Minister, has been fired allegedly for saying on audio tape she would not quit politics until she has made $1m. On the tape, which is suspected to have been made by her driver, she is quoted as saying, “If you have money then you can control people.” While in Nigeria, the House of Representatives’ Committee on Aviation which probed the allegations of fraud against Ms. Oduah refuted every single one of her claim, describing them as false or unsupported by the evidence. Still, the Minister, a personal friend and major 2011 campaign supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan, remains in office.
