The Finance Minister who has directed the terrible breakdown of the economy can't and ought not be important for the group of moderators. He has lost believability and the trust and certainty of partners in our economy.
President Akufo-Addo should take an intense choice to supplant his money serve quickly with a more guaranteed and skillful individual who is willing and ready to work vigorously to turn what is happening near.
