Deputy Minister for Works and Housing Hannah Bissiw gave travelers at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) the shock of their lives recently when she created a scene at the Ghana�s only international airport last week. The Deputy Minister had gone to the airport to seize the passport of one Odeefuo Richard Waye to prevent him from travelling outside Ghana because of dispute between the two of them over monies reputed to be running into the millions of dollars. One version of the allegations doing the rounds is that the Deputy Minster has parked over a million dollars in the accounts of the Man of God, because they allegedly have a longstanding amorous relationship. But with the man of God traveling out of the jurisdiction, the Deputy Minster was afraid that that would be the last time she sees any of her dollars. But speaking to Richard Waye, who lives at DuayawNkwanta, Hannah Bissiw had requested him to allow her to park a sum of about $9 million dollars into his account, a demand the man of God said he had refused to comply with, leading to the animosity between him and the Deputy Minister for Works and Housing. According to Waye, the Deputy Minister had called him on phone to threaten him after he had refused to allow her transfer the gargantuan sum of money into his account. According to Daniel Waye, he was the one who prophesied that she will become a Minster and he has always prayed for her in all her endeavors. Pastor Richard Waye told the Daily Searchlight that Hannah Bissiw told him thus, �The money is too big and if I put it in my account they will suspect it so I want to transfer it to your account.� Pastor Waye said that after Hannah Bissiw seized his passport, he, together with the DuayawNkwanta Presby District Pastor went to Hannah Bissiw to plead for his passport to be given back to him, but according to our source Hananah Bissiw did not even look at them and told the policemen guarding her at her house to drag them out of the house. Odeifoo Richard Waye told this paper that he had known Hannah Bissiw, the Deputy Minister for Works and Housing for close to 9 years and he was shocked to the teeth when the Minster started acting rudely towards him. �I am a man of God and led many people, so it will be unfair for me to allow myself to be used to cover a deal that contravenes the principles of God. Also when I do that God�s angriness will come upon me,� he said emotionally. Odeifoo Richard Waye again said he does not want to stretch this matter because through the intervention of his lawyer, Mrs. Joyce Atafah, Hannah Bissiw has released the passport for them and that is what they want. �Since I got my calling no one has ever humiliated me like this but I know with God all things are possible and if she dares to threaten me again or harass me I will bring out many issues,� said Odeifoo Richard Waye. Deputy Minister Hannah Bissiw did not respond to several calls and text messages to her phone by our Editor in-Chief.
