OFORI ATTA IS THE ONLY FINANCE MINISTER TO SQUANDER ¢12.4M SINCE OIL PRODUCTION STARTED IN GHANA – Okudzeto Ablakwa Alleges

Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a member of the 8-member committee appointed by the Speaker of Parliament to examine the claims against the Finance Minister said Ofori Atta is the first Minister of Finance in Ghana since commercial oil production began to waste GHS12.4million.

Mr Ablakwa, a legislator representing North Tongu, said Ghanaians are weary of his carelessness hence he must go.

“For the first time since Ghana started commercial oil production 10 years ago, embattled Ken Ofori-Atta becomes the only Finance Minister to squander a staggering GHS12.4million (GHS12,475,426.01) of our oil revenues to pay a judgment debt. Tired of his recklessness!” he tweeted on Monday November 14.

He added “For the avoidance of doubt, no Ghanaian Finance Minister has ever dared to touch our precious oil revenues for judgment debt. Consistent with dangerous Ken, this reckless conduct was carried out without Parliamentary approval.”
