Communication Minister, Ursula Owusu Ekuful has urged Former Deputy Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson to stop writing letters to her.
The minister has further urged her colleague in parliament to seek redress at the right forum if he has any problem with her directives to telcos on the implementation of a 9% Communication Service Tax (CST).
The Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam Constituency Member of Parliament, in a letter written to the Communications Minister, said it was wrong for the minister to be giving directives to telcos on how to collect the tax.
But the minister, in her latest response to Mr Forson, has asked him to stop writing letters to her.
“He should go to the right forum if he disagrees with my role in the CST directives. He can write a thesis but that won’t change the law,” the minister said when she appeared on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Thursday.
She explained further that as a minister, she had an interest in all levies that affect the Communication Ministry.
“I am not obliged to Ato Forson’s interpretation of the law because I don’t see any conflict in my role over the communication directives,” Mrs Ekuful said.
Commenting on the choice of words she used in her reply letter to Ato Forson, she said: “There was nothing abusive in my [choice] words because these were idioms and I have no idea the brothel Ato Forson is talking about.”

Madam minister, did i hear you right that you were using idioms? Great to know. A question though "the ***barred word*** syndrome" espouse by the former president was it an insult? Perhaps a little clarity will be appreciated.
Ato Forson must know that Usurla used idiomatic expression,NDC doesn't read...they lack common understanding.
This your arrogance is what will bring you down Madam.
Well the appointing authority speaks and highly inept like her so no big deal
Someone should tell this woman that she is not endearing to the young women who need to be empowered. Her distastful effusions are the very thing turning young girls away from her. Just imagine if Ato Forson said the very things that she said, the so called journalisats would have paraded so called feminists to blast anyone who crossed their path. Is she no more a lawyer to argue the legalities of her decision? Why is she running away from that and using insinuations and outright insults? This is how the Ghana Law School has failed to produce graduates who can argue or debate with the knowledge of the law. Hah. No wonder. She will have to be careful about her reference to A BROTHEL. I rest my case.
