Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Dr Louisa Hannah Bissiw and Women’s Rights Advocate and New Patriotic Party activist Ursula Owusu launched angry criticisms on each other during a radio discussion centred on morality. The two were commenting on the issues of morality raised Monday on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana programme. On the TV programme, John Abdulai Jinapor, spokesperson of the Vice President inferred that Ursula Owusu prostituted to build her house. His comments were in response to Ursula’s statement early on that six months into office, some members of the Mills administration had put up houses. John Jinapor, who is alleged by some sections of the media to have built a mansion six months into office, felt Ursula was referring to him. He insisted Ursula retracted or substantiated her allegation but she refused, insisting that Mr Jinapor was appropriating her comment to himself. On Kokrokoo Wednesday, Ursula Owusu hit back at what she termed as attempts by some National Democratic Congress (NDC) activists to cow her into silence. She posited that in keeping with the character of some newspapers sympathetic to the cause of the NDC, several illustrious Ghanaian women had been labeled as prostitutes merely because they held divergent political views. She repeated her call on the Vice-President, John Dramani Mahama, to reprimand his spokesperson and teach him to be respectful to women. “I know him (Vice-President) personally and know that he respects women a lot, but if now, by becoming a Vice-President he has changed, I’ll hold him responsible for everything his spokesperson said,” she stated. Ursula claimed she was vilified on Radio Gold on Tuesday by NDC sympathizers who alleged that her immoral conduct led to the breakdown of her marriage. But the vociferous human rights campaigner retorted, “I walked out of my marriage, and I am not prepared to sit here and disclose why, it is nobody’s business.” The former Managing Director of Westel Telecommunications Company, who questioned the moral uprightness of President Mills and his Vice, also stressed that per the constitution, she has every right to do whatever she pleases with any adult by due consent, reminding those accusing her of being morally weak to “look closer to home.” “In pointing fingers at somebody, look closer to home….If you are talking about morals, the President himself has a child out of wedlock...Because they are defending somebody and impugning my morals, I am saying that they should look closer to home,” she added.
