It’s too late now for anyone to replace Ken Ofori-Atta and do any magic — UK Varsity Don

A professor of Accounting at Sheffield University in the United Kingdom, Prof. Khalid Sharif Mahmud has said it is now too late to replace Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta.

Of late, persistent calls are being made for the Minister to resign or be sacked by President Akufo-Addo due to the deteriorated economic situation of the country.
