A member of the ruling National Democratic Congress' legal team, Abraham Amaliba says the dismissed Deputy Communications Minister's actions are an embarrassment to the Presidency and the entire nation. Addressing the issue on Radio Gold, Lawyer Abraham Amaliba lauded the President for his decision to sanction Ms Hammah because her character "creates a certain impression that this is a woman who has decided to go into politics to make money and then as it were, control people and we don�t like that. People don�t like arrogance�� and the revelations on the tape indicate her �betrayal reposed in her by the President, the NDC and the people of Ghana.� He supported the President's decision to dismiss her from office, following her indiscreet remarks about the activities of some government officials and to him, Ms Hammah appears to be a woman who would use her "position to make money" as she makes strides in the political landscape. He also took a swipe at the Parliamentary Appointments Committee for their inability to do a thorough background check on their interviewees and advised them to step up their game when vetting prospective government officials. �Could we have avoided this embarrassment because the embarrassment is to the President and to Ghanaians as a whole?� he asked the Appointments Committee.
