Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has hinted that there might be another factor at play in President Akufo-decision Addo’s to keep the Finance Minister in place.
He thought it strange that the president didn’t want to keep Ken Ofori-Atta as the Finance Minister.
He said that this might be the case because the Minister is hiding government corruption.
In an interview with JoyNews’ AM Show, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe, who is renowned for being direct and attacking members of his own party, asserted that the Finance Minister should have resigned as soon as Ghana chose to ask the IMF for assistance (IMF).
“So you ask yourself, why is he still there? When a person is in position and the populace says ‘we’ve had enough of you, go away’ and still he wants to be there, the simple thing that should come to the mind of any ordinary Ghanaian is that he is sitting on the rot. When he’s not there, we’ll see how massive the rot is.”
When asked who Mr Ofori Atta is covering up for, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said, “Who is the appointing authority of this country? And has the President approved of his removal?
“The President should have asked him [Ken Ofori Atta] to go away. Here we have a situation where even ordinary person in the streets says, ‘Ofori Atta must leave’,” he told Benjamin Akakpo on Wednesday.
