Who is Maria Kiwanuka ( pictured above)? Business Written by Moses Talemwa Sunday, 29 May 2011 17:07 New Finance Minister, Maria Kiwanuka In her, the ministry of Finance will get an expert with lots of hands on experience in economics, business, banking and finance It is in Radio One’s newsroom that one can truly understand the character of Maria Kiwanuka. As aggressively as one can imagine, she would summon editors to her office, where she would give them a piece of her mind. Her criticism, just like her praise, is delivered in the most bold way possible. At that station, where she is still a General Manager, Maria Kiwanuka has a strong spite for incompetence and a revered drive for perfectionism. But even for her unwavering attempt to meet high standards, it would not be far-fetched to argue that Maria Kiwanuka’s nomination as the next Minister of Finance could have caught her, and many more, by surprise.

Behind the Mask story The newly appointed boss of Ghana’s Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Lauretta Lamptey has said she will not fight for the rights of homosexuals as the law deems their activities to be criminal. Lamptey (pictured above) also said that the argument on Gay rights should be a legal discourse, rather than about human rights saying, “The main point that I wanted to make is that the debate has been about rights and that I think the real issue is the legal side of things and that it doesn’t make sense to me. There is some illogic in arguing for increased rights for homosexuals and at the same time saying that by law homosexuality is a criminal offence. How can we say it is criminal and then you want (CHRAJ) to go and protect the very activity that is criminal?” She added “in my view I don’t think as a society we are ready to give homosexuals, lesbians, that whole category of people any of those kind of rights”.
