Samuel Atta Akyea, the member of parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, believes that the resignation of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will result in national harmony.
In order to better serve the interests of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) as well as his own well-being, Atta-Akyea emphasized the importance of Ofori-Atta reflecting on himself.
In an interview with Citi TV on Tuesday, January 16, the Abuakwa South member urged the Finance Minister to put the interests of the country first and consider stepping down from office.
“For me, what is very frightening is the fact that you have a whole army of people saying look you’ve had enough…I think that that could be a way for him to relax. Look at all the burdens on one man. So it is his individual decision to make as to whether he should go or he should continue.”
Moreover, Atta-Akyea voiced the opinion that Ofori-Atta’s resignation could help to foster a more tranquil atmosphere for the country and the government.
“He should look at himself and look at the troubles that everybody believes, I mean when he is not there then the nation will have peace…He should save himself and save the government and have his peace because he needs it,” Mr Atta Akyea said.
