Former Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has assured Ghanaians that he will hold the current government accountable for its management of the country’s finances.

According to him, he will do so forcefully and without regret.

Dr. Amin Adam believes that Ghana needs a strong opposition to prevent the government from mismanaging the economy and undoing the progress made by the previous administration.

Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Joy News, he emphasized the importance of having a strong opposition to keep the government in check.

He recalled his own experience with the current Finance Minister, describing him as a formidable opponent who played a crucial role in ensuring accountability.

"Ato is my good friend. We worked together and had a good relationship. He was my ranking member on the finance committee, and when I became Finance Minister, he was the Minority Leader. Trust Ato, he would always debate the economy,” he said.

When asked if he would be a thorn in the side of the current government as a form of retaliation, he responded that holding the government accountable is essential.

Just as Ato Forson, PhD, kept him on his toes, he pledged to do the same to ensure the welfare of Ghanaians.

"No, I promise to do my best to hold him accountable and to hold the entire government accountable for their management of public finances and the economy. I will do so forcefully and without regret. Ghana needs a strong opposition to ensure that the government does not toy with our lives and remains on track, particularly regarding the gains we have handed over to them,” he stated.
