From last year, both majority and minority in Parliament including some leading members of NPP demanded that the President, His Excellency Nana Akufo Addo sack Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta from office. Regardless of all the attempts made, Ken Ofori Atta is at post. Have you ever wondered when Ken Ofori Atta will be sacked?
Well the Finance Minister, Mr Ken Ofori Atta has finally revealed when he will willingly leave office or probably be fired by his cousin His Excellency Nana Akufo Addo. Speaking of his fate at the Finance Ministry, Mr Ken Ofori Atta revealed that so far he has seen massive improvement in Ghana' s economy since January. The dollar that was depreciating is now appreciating and getting strong. Inflation has also decreased significantly under his ministerialship.
The Finance Minister noted that he' s still in office because he has achieved unprecedented feats since his appointment.
" We recognize that it has been quite a dramatic change to where we are, during that period in which we did the double take to go to the Fund, we got the Staff Level Agreement (SLA) in record time, we got the Fund approval in record time, we got three times our quota which is unprecedented"
One of the main reasons why he was kept despite the protests from NPP and NDC was because of the IMF loan and he highlighted that this loan has been approved. " We also were able to front load it so that we may get $1. 2bn this year, which is good, within three days of the approval also it was disbursed to us. Inflation has tapered down from 54 % to where we are. "
Now that the economy is recovering, he hinted that he has more work to do and will probably leave afterwards.
" So you can see some stability and we are grateful for that. There is a lot of work ahead and really we need to remain focused as Ghanaians and move ahead"
