Victoria Hammah Lacks Experience - Andy Awuni

Former Presidential Spokesperson and Press Secretary to former President Kufour, Andy Awuni has described the Deputy Minister of Communication, Ms Victoria Hammah�s reaction to her unedited speech at the meeting with communication experts as a lack of experience. Victoria Hammah requested for an edited speech while reading an unedited one at a public gathering in Accra. The voice clip went viral on websites and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Speaking on Eye Witness News, Mr Awuni said �the Minister should have considered the fact that she was at a public gathering, and found a way of getting out of the situation rather than making the situation so obvious to the general public.� �If a speech is being read and certain aspects of the speech are not understood, the speech should be read in a way that will make it understandable to everyone.� He further stated the Minister should be held responsible for what happened since �she did not take time to read through the speech before making the presentation� adding that �if the Minister should have not read the speech to the public since she did not go through it" �It is proper for young people to assume leadership positions but there is a clear difference between young people who have experience and know what to do and young people who do not have experience in many ways� According to him, �the young minister had the opportunity to read through the speech but she failed to do so and that accounted for the mistakes she made.�
