According to Ransford Gyampo, an associate professor of political science and the director of the University of Ghana’s Centre for European Studies, the president ought to be held legally liable for the stress on the economy.
The major contributor to the nation’s economic predicament, in Professor Gyampo’s opinion, is Nana Akufo-refusal Addo’s to restructure his cabinet and fire the finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
He said that someone should consider suing the President for financial loss to the state as a result of his reluctance to utilize the best minds the nation has to offer in light of the crisis the President’s resistance to public counsel is fueling.
Speaking on Newsfile on Joy TV, he said, “You cannot tell me Mr. Ofori-Atta is the best Finance Minister that Ghana would ever produce or that within Ghana at the moment there’s nobody in the NPP who can run our Finances better than him.”
“There are brains, there are talents that are going waste and I’m saying that tomorrow or someday to come somebody should be able to test this at the court, suing the President for causing financial loss to the state for not bringing on board the brains and the talents that could have been brought on board to help steer us, navigate us through the crisis we find ourselves. Why are we wasting them?
“…And I’m saying that failure to reshuffle is tantamount to the dissipation of the limited human resource that we have that can be brought on board to help us navigate our way out of the quagmires of economic misdirections which we find ourselves,” he added.
