Mr Emmanuel Kwaku Asante, a former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Lower West Akim in the Eastern Region and Aspiring member of Parliament on the ticket of NDC at New Juabeng North constituency, believes President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo must be punished for keeping incompetent finance minister, Mr Ken Ofori Attah.
Mr Emmanuel Kwaku Asante has joined the many calls for President Nana Akufo-Addo to sack the finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
He thinks it is surprising that Mr Ofori-Atta has not resigned or been sacked by the president by now.
Ghana’s economy is in tatters, according to experts. Plummeting cedi against major trading currencies, skyrocketing inflation rates and unsustainable debt levels have plagued the economy.
Commenting on the poor state of the economy during an interview on Koforidua-based Bryt FM on Thursday, Emmanuel Kwaku Asante said recent calls for a ministerial reshuffle are in order, citing Ofori-Atta among the appointees that must be sacked immediately.
He said it is strange that the president is still keeping the minister in post.
