    Where're the doubting Thomas'. It was reported earlier by Ghanaweb News Portal but as usual the bigots, foolsoldiers and gullible NPP attack dogs decend on Ghanaweb. Here you are!!!

  • Unpredictable Oye Onye Kwasi Atta 2 years ago

    Congratulations for disassociating yourself from the Guinness record holders of economic management and thievery from the Akyem Abuakwa enclave

  • Akufo Addo is a cartel Boss 2 years ago

    The man has bolted from such a mess this time around although he was part of the akyem sakawa group in their first term.

  • KWARTENG IS PEEVED FOR NOT GETTING FINANCE MINISTRY 2 years ago

    The same thing out Gender Minister did when she was offered Ambassador to Italy position. Knut Kwarteng should know better that during reshuffle, deputies don’t automatically assume the higher positions.

  • Yaw Barimah 2 years ago

    If you care to know, he was offered the Finance Ministry but he rejected it because he does not want to associate himself with the crimes of Akufo-Addo's government.

  • KWARTENG IS PEEVED FOR NOT GETTING FINANCE MINISTRY 2 years ago

    HOW CAN SOMEONE YANKED FROM HIS ROLE AS DEPUTY FINANCE MINISTER BE OFFERED THE POSITION OF MINISTER OF FINANCE? Not all of us on Ghanaweb are dummies.

  • FRANKIE 2 years ago

    Man, stop the hypocrisy! How can you "stand ready to support the president in whatever way you can" and still reject his appointment? You know the NPP pirates and buccaneers ship is sinking and you don't want to be part of it ...

  • Who Killed Mills 2 years ago

    This man can see the obvious. Ofri atta is still the finance minister but change of name means the role is now called Senior adviser and the assistant finance minister is now called Finance minister. Smoke and mirrors

  • Liar-in-Chief 2 years ago

    I wonder how you can sack someone and almost immediately reappoint the same person to a senior position. Akkufo Addo is such a corrupt reckless wicked old man.
