When governance is reduced to reckless political gossip bordering on the amoral and amorous by immature government appointees, citizens have sufficient grounds to be concerned about the quality of the President�s discretion. Ghanaians were stunned by the latest political scandal to bedevil the Mahama administration after a revealing political gossip went viral on social media and on the front page of one of the country�s leading private newspapers yesterday. The multifaceted conversation consisted of romance, administration of justice with particular reference to the recent election petition hearing, influence peddling, fortune-making as a function of local politics and many more: we would for the ease of presentation break the anomalies into various compartments in a series commencing from this edition. President John Mahama would now appreciate the importance of considering as critical requirements, maturity in age and work experience when making appointments. When the issue was raised by many, he too, out of political naivety or sheer bluff, ignored the good counsel of Ghanaians who found his choice and pairing a bit awkward and counterproductive. President Mahama has learnt the hard way that making two female political appointments for one ministry is a flawed chemistry, evidence of which abounds in the Vickyleaks under review. We have been treated to an exhibition of ignorance by a deputy minister who does not even know the husband of her boss, according to Victoria Hammah, who has already earned for herself the �the gone too soon� tag in the political category anyway. Ms. Rachael Florence Apoh, we have learnt from the Vickyleak, earned a verbal query from Victoria after expressing admiration for the President�s own lawyer, the man who wields unusual control over three ministries under a Mahama government. Beauty is a critical requirement under the Mahama administration, it would seem, and Victoria Hammah endorsed it when she damned the looks of Deputy Minister Rachel Appoh in the smelly leaks. For a lady who made notorious headlines when she crudely disowned a speech she was reading to an educated audience recently, but had the President defending her, she must be a jinxed case which is what the Mahama administration is anyway. She encouraged �fun-fool respect� for those who seek to gain foothold in local politics in order to make monetary fortunes: dreaming of directing a whopping amount of $1 million into her accounts is not a pipedream. After all she is in the Communications Ministry where �making it big time� under an NDC government is a possibility worth exploring. There are limitless fortunes in an NDC government, especially when you are a woman, well-endowed and ready to go to all lengths to get what you want. Victoria Hammah has unambiguously narrated this via the leaks. She had her job already reserved for her when for others, it required exciting the tear ducts in Parliament House to have the legislature okay an appointment.
