Assume for a moment that you are one of President John Kufuor?s newly appointed ministers. By the 4th republican constitution parliament must vet and approve new appointees before they can work in their new offices.
But what will you say if the Parliamentary Appointment Committee asked you if you have ever used Viagra, the aphrodisiac?
Well, at Thursday’s vetting John Mahama a ranking member of the minority NDC and the vetting committee asked the deputy Minister of Information designate, Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, if he had ever tried Viagra.
Amidst laughter Asamoah-Boateng roared back with his head tipped downwards: ?No, I haven?t.?
He, however said he could secure a discount for Mahama if he needed some Viagra.
Mahama?s question was premised on the fact that, while Asamoah-Boateng was living in Britain, he worked as a business analyst for Pfizer Medical Technology Group, one of the world?s leading pharmaceutical companies.
?I developed strategic business and financial report that evaluated the value of the Group?s customers. I successfully created a central database to assist in market research and also assisted in the marketing of the Group?s innovative product, Viagra,? said a CV Asamoah-Boateng submitted to the vetting committee.
