Previous President, John Dramani Mahama has charged President Akufo-Addo to critically supplant his Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, with a more guaranteed and capable individual who can work enthusiastically to turn the country's fortunes around.
As indicated by him, Mr Ofori-Atta has previously lost his believability, trust and certainty after he administered "the tragic breakdown of the economy."
He added that the Finance Minister ought not be added to the group of arbitrators connecting with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial help. "Also, given his undeniable disappointments, the Vice President should be feeling much better of his obligation as Chair of the Economic Management Team to empower the President to reconstitute the group. Previous President John Mahama says government's choice to begin converses with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout ought to check a significant stage in tending to the country's financial emergency.
"We should draw valuable illustrations from this episode and stay away from modest politicking with the economy that can yield the deplorable results that have brought us here," he said. His call comes after President Akufo-Addo approved the Finance Minister to start formal commitment with the IMF for help. On Friday, July 1, the Information Ministry declared that there has previously been a discussion between the IMF chief, Kristalina Georgieva, and President Akufo-Addo over the move for the bailout. Responding to this in a Facebook post, Mr Mahama said a far reaching local program ought to be introduced to the Fund for help. "However late, it ought to stamp a significant stage towards tending to the critical monetary circumstance, which has left Ghanaians floundering under serious misery and difficulties.
"It is basic that a group of talented and capable mediators is assembled to get the best arrangement of measures with the Fund," the previous President recommended.
