I didn’t approve Ken Ofori-Atta – Adongo disappointed in Haruna Iddrisu, others

Member of Parliament(MP) for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo has said that he did not participate in the approval of Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta as Finance Minister-designate and is disappointed in the leadership of the house especially that of the Minority for giving him the nod for a second time, MyNewsGh.com reports.

In a press conference expressing his displeasure, Hon. Adongo explained that the country is still counting its losses under what he described as a ‘mismanaged’ economy by the Finance Minister designate and hence will be the last person to endorse his re-appointment.

“The consensus was reached at committee, I was not at the committee to ascertain the full facts of how they came by the consensus. But having reached a consensus, it will amount to nothing for me to challenge the decision on the floor and so let the records reflect that I did not approve Ken. Ofori-Atta as our Finance Minister designate and I disagree with our leadership.

Having being a hard critic of his and being aware of the mess he has put us in with the recent one being the Eurobond, it will be suicidal for me to approve his appointment for he to continue to mess up the country up.

My being quiet has nothing to mean that I have been compromised. It was because I have chosen my battle carefully. I disagree with my leadership but I respect their view.”

President Akufo-Addo on Tuesday, March 30 sworn into office the Finance Minister as he sets to take office as Ghana’s longest serving Minister in that portfolio.

Parliament approved Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta in a unanimous recommendation by the Appointments Committee of the House.

The committee recommended to the House to approve Mr Ofori-Atta’s appointment.

The report was presented by the Majority Chief Whip, Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, on behalf of the Chairman of the committee, Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu as parliament, as a whole, endorsed the report and approved the nomination by a voice vote.

Social media reacts:

The endorsement received varied reactions from social media users as a section of the  users lauded and congratulated the Finance Minister designate on his appointment, with others too expressing worry as to why the NDC Caucus seconded his approval after raising concerns.

Here are some of the reactions as compiled by MyNewsGh.com

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it. He indicated that he has come back to Ghana to open the eyes of ignorant Ghanaians so that they see the light.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
