In the 2012 general election, she contested the Ablekuma West constituency parliamentary seat.[1]

She served as Deputy Minister of Communications under the John Dramani Mahama administration until Friday, 8 November 2013.

She currently runs a non profit organisation for women - Progressive Organisation for Women's Advancement[2] (POWA).

An audio tape of the former Deputy Minister was heard telling an unnamed friend that she would not quit politics until she had made at least one million US Dollars (US$1m).[3][4] The conversation also made mentions of other public officials and politicians linked to all kinds of corrupt practice.[5]
