For the sake of Ghanaians and the government, Samuel Atta Akyea, the Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has encouraged Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister, to resign. The nation’s persistent economic problems have been the driving force behind the mounting calls for Ofori-Atta’s resignation over the past few years.
Particularly outspoken, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the Finance Minister over and again of being to blame for the present budgetary problems.
Tuesday, January 16, at Face to Face, Mr. Atta-Akyea stressed the value of self-evaluation for Mr. Ofori-Atta, advising him to consider his position for both his own and the ruling New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) well-being.
“I find it quite problematic because a huge army of people tells you that enough is enough.That seems like a possible technique for him to unwind. One individual looks at all the burdens he has. Therefore, it is up to him to decide for himself whether to go.
Atta-Akyea continued, saying that Ofori-Atta’s resignation would even help to settle things down for the country and the government.
“He needs to examine himself and the problems that everyone feels exist; only when he is gone will there be harmony in the country. Mr. Atta Akyea stated, “He needs peace, so he should save himself, save the government, and have it.”
Mr. Atta Akyea also aimed at those who attribute the nation’s economic problems to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
He said that while the economy is not doing well, it is “cruel” and “unkind” for anyone to blame Dr Bawumia for the economic problems facing the Akufo-Addo administration.
Mr. Atta Akyea said that the vice president was preventing him from making some critical decisions for the nation because of a very significant adversarial role.
