The economic hardships being experienced in the country should be blamed on Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta and not Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, broadcasters Kwabena Marfo and Adakabre Frimpong Manso.

He has digitalized the operations ECG, Ghana Water Company Limited and others. The digitalization agenda has reduced corruption in the country. I always say that Bawumia is not the cause of our economic woes. Our major challenge is the Finance Minister. Ken Ofori-Atta is the cause of our problems. “Even the NPP supporters are calling for a reshuffle because they know he is not good. I’ve always been of the view that his economic policies,” he said. Adakabre Frimpong Manso claimed that President Akufo-Addo has not rang changes in his administration due to his unwillingness to sack Ken Ofori-Atta. “He is the reason why the president has not done any reshuffling in his administration. If they are to do reshuffle, he will be sacked so they don’t want to do it.” Calls have heightened for President Akufo-Addo to reshuffle his ministers following the turbulent economic times. Ken Ofori-Atta has been blamed for not steering the country’s economy in the right direction. KPE
