Sophia Akuffo, Ghana’s former Chief Justice, has voiced her dissatisfaction with the current country’s economic situation.
Sophia Akuffo claimed during a JoyNews interview that, the public purse should be protected by the minister of finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, but now the situation is even worse.
“When Ken became Minister of Finance in 2017, I heard him on the TV. He was talking, and he was saying that he sees his responsibility as being that of protecting the national coffers. Now the promise and the achievement, the gap is too big, and I need more explanation.
“All I know is that you were going to protect the national coffers, and they are now empty. Whether they were empty at that time or not is neither here nor there. Because you were not going to protect the empty thing, you were going to protect it and make sure that everything that comes into it is going to be well husbanded… so we would go on and not reverse again.
“It has been very disappointing… the fact is, whether it was Ken Ofori-Atta or somebody else I will still feel the same,” she said.
