Member of Parliament for Juaboso, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has indicated that the country is heading for doom as Ken Ofori-Atta has been appointed caretaker of the Trade and Industry Ministry.
It would be recalled that the President, Akufo-Addo last week appointed Ken Ofori-Atta as acting caretaker minister of the Trade Ministry after the substantive minister, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen resigned from office
According to the Juaboso MP, the mess the finance minister has created at the Finance Ministry should be enough reason to kick him out of office but he has rather been given a double task at the Trade and Industry Ministry.
The Juaboso MP expressed his displeasure with the decision by the President and enumerated a number of reasons he believes make Mr. Ofori-Atta a misfit for the position.
“There are a lot of reasons why this finance minister can be described as selfish and greedy.”
Go and find out the faces behind the Enterprise Insurance Company and go and look out for the number of contracts they have gotten from the Finance Ministry.
Go and find out how Databank has suddenly become a major player in borrowing in this country.”
“If Mr. Ofori-Atta is not a greedy and selfish person, why is he still in office when his own Members of Parliament are saying he should resign?”
Mr. Akandoh also added that it is a dangerous mixture to have both incompetence and arrogance all in one man which is captured in Mr. Ofori-Atta.
“When incompetence and arrogance meet, it becomes very dangerous. One may be incompetent and is ready to learn and listen, and it may be well for us, but once the person is arrogant and incompetent, it is very dangerous for our country and that is where we find ourselves now,” he emphasized
