If they have decided to publish a story  about me, it is their own prerogative, but I\u2019m not answerable to Ken  Kuranchie or his Daily Searchlight,\u201d she declared.<br \/>\nWhen the host  of the programme prompted her attention to the fact that, as at the time  he was speaking to her on radio, the matter was beyond The Daily  Searchlight and that other Ghanaians were interested, she said, \u201cMy  brother, it is out of respect that I\u2019m speaking to you this morning,  other than that I would not even commented on a story carried by The  Daily Searchlight newspaper &#8211; If they say I have put up two mansions,  fine! I thank God but I\u2019m not ready to talk about it.\u201d<br \/>\nShe,  however, confirmed that this reporter called her on Tuesday, January 11,  2011 to ask her about how she managed to put up those magnificent  edifices within a short period. It is also on record that, that was not  the first time she was contacted to comment on her project. On September  15, 2010, Dr. Louisa Bissiw declined talking to this reporter, with the  excuse that \u201cI\u2019ve never met you personally\u201d. She then invited this  reporter to her office the following week because she was working in  Koforidua, in the Eastern Region.<br \/>\nInterestingly, the Deputy Minister  who claimed to be working in the Eastern Region and would be available  in Accra the following week was spotted on Metro TV\u2019s \u201cGood Morning  Ghana\u201d the following day (Thursday, September 16, 2010).<br \/>\nAs if  that was not enough, even before this reporter could meet her on the  agreed date, Dr. Hannah Louisa Bissiw proceeded to grant The Informer  Newspaper an interview that same day (Wednesday, September 23, 2010) on  the same subject for the pro NDC paper to counter the story, which was  yet to be published by The Daily Searchlight.<br \/>\nSource: Daily Searchlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Hannah Louisa Bisiw, Deputy Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing has said that she owes Ghanaians no explanation on how she managed to put up two luxurious mansions with just two years inside the four-year term of her National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
