Ex-president, John Mahama has blamed vice president Bawumia and finance minister Ken Ofori Atta for the current economic downturn.
Ghanaians have been asking for the resignation of finance minister Ofori Atta following the exponential depreciation of the Ghana cedi and the rise in prices of goods and services.
At a public speech titled “Building the Ghana We Want” conducted at the UPSA auditorium, ex-president John Mahama requested that vice president Bawumia and finance minister Ofori Atta be fired from their positions.
“I re-echoed demands by Ghanaians that the finance minister and the Chair of the Economic Management Team, who have been primarily responsible for this economic catastrophe, be relieved of their positions to breed confidence among stakeholders and offer the economy a new lease of life.
“I asked that the President deploys some of the arsenals in the Presidential toolkit and reshuffle his government to inject innovation and freshness of thinking into the running of the country,” he stated.
“I also asked that the President addresses the nation to inform the public of the specific steps he was intending to take to weather the pending economic storm.
“This address was meant to calm the anxiety of the investor community and rally Ghanaians behind any such efforts. Regrettably, the President dug in and failed to do any of these,” he added.
