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.

But Prof Khalid believes it is too late for anyone to replace Mr. Ofori-Atta and do any magic to turn things around.

According to the Accounting Expert, Ken Ofori-Atta must be allowed to finish what he started.

“Stop the calls for the Finance Minister to go!!!! The current state of the economy gives no room for anyone even with a magic wand to pull us out… The market is ruthless and unforgiving. Some few months ago a new leadership at the treasury would have heralded some positive response. Now, we have dug deep for a difference in leadership to make any progressive change in the short to medium term as needed.It will be self destructive  for anyone to take over from him now, that grace period has elapsed. He should finish what we started…” he wrote.

How Ofori-Atta sees resignation

The Finance Minister himself sees the calls for his resignation as unwarranted after the government sought economic support from International Monetary Fund (IMF).

According to him, calls for his resignation were akin to asking a father to resign from his children because he has changed his mind.

He said circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war demanded a change from his original position not to seek IMF support.

That is not a very good question you know, It’s almost like telling a father to resign from his children because he’s changed his mind,” Mr Ofori-Atta told JoyNews during the National Delegates Conference of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“You know there are times that decisions have to be made for the survival of the country and therefore if circumstances such as COVID or Ukraine war occur which are not typical it does change the environme

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.

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...
