Victoria Hammah has previously said she was under pressure to steal public money.
Ghana’s Deputy Communications Minister Victoria Hammah has been sacked after she was recorded allegedly saying she would stay in politics until she has made $1m (£600,000).

Ms Hammah has not yet commented on the tape or her sacking.
The BBC’s Sammy Darko in Accra says she played a key role in President John Mahama’s election last year.
