Foreign Affairs Minister Hanna Tetteh has dismissed claims that she is arrogant.

According to her, the nature of her job requires that she engages numerous people on daily basis hence her personal decision to be tactical on how she handles her relationship.

“I don’t think I’m arrogant. I know I can be abrupt but I won’t say I am deliberately rude to anyone.

“In politics a lot of people need your attention, some are genuine and others are just seeking your attention to thrive on your influence.

“But I am not the kind that will allow you to use my influence in that manner so if that is misconstrued as arrogant, then I guess I am,” she told Bola Ray on Starr Chat Wednesday.

The former trades minister has recently come under public criticisms over her relationship with some media houses in the country.
