Former Commissioner of the Commission
for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Justice Francis
Emile Short has called for further investigations into a leaked audio
recording attributed to former Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria
Hammah.
Though he was dodgy over what exactly
should happen next, Justice Short insinuated that anti-corruption
institutions must take the matter up immediately it becomes clear it is
the deputy minister's voice.
He was speaking on TV3’s News 360 on Friday, November 8, 2013.
“First of all, it is important to get
voice identification,” he recommended, saying it is after the “author of
the tape” is confirmed that further investigations can follow.
He said since government did not give
any reason in relieving Ms Hammah of her post, it will be unfair for
people to link her dismissal to the leaked tape.
But the former CHRAJ Commissioner was emphatic that the content of the tape puts Ghana in the bad light internationally.
“The statement is not a very commendable one especially coming from a deputy minister,” he said.
A leaked tape on Thursday had the
failed-Member of Parliament aspirant for Ablekuma South Constituency
discussing issues confined to government, adding until she makes $1
million, she would not quit politics.
