Kwesi Botchwey's reign as finance minister was the genesis of your economic destruction. He stayed on for too long and during those hectic days, who dares cough about his ineptness?

Kwesi Botchwey inept? Then you must be taking some hard substances. The late venerable Kwesi Botchwey stands tall amongst the list of Ghana's finance ministers, he's a doyan in that field. Continue to rest in peace Kwesi ✌

The thief among them is the one called Ken Ofori Atta. His degrees might have as well been in KRORNOLOGY. At least Osafo Mouthful was put in some checks by Kufuor!

This dishonorable Dr Mohammed Amin is more mischievious than his bosses Akufo Addo and Dr Bawumia who brought him to the finance ministry. These guys can lie even during the broad day light

@Kk Kumasi, don’t rush to expose your ignorance, just do a little reading about Economics and Investment Banking.

Investment bankers, by their training and trade, have great appetite for risks (calculated ones of course), hence Ofori-Atta’s penchant for borrowing. While accountants are risks averse, by their training and trade. With strict adherence to rules and regulations, keeping and balancing the books of accounts. The relevance of these categories of professionals depends on the economic environment/conditions and what the government/management wants to achieve.

Accountants are more preferable when the focus is on achieving financial stability. While pure economists, finance experts or investment bankers are more desirable for bolder and riskier decisions to break forth from the status quo, to achieve better economic growth and prosperity. The higher the risk, the higher the premium. No venture, no gain.

@Kwasi, you should have lowered your explanation to the understanding of NDC goons. Trust me, they are daft when it comes to finances. All Investment bankers take "risks" which is part of their professionalism if I am right.

Ah how can you refer to Ken ofori atta and Amin Adam as gurus? These two are classical thieves who brought the economy of Ghana to it's knees. They are the embodiment of failure. Ken ofori atta is the most useless. Gbemelawo.

It is high time we do away with such people and appoint our locally trained ones with a comparable shorter list of academic work who are less corrupt.

Ofori-Atta is also a guru but on the negative side. He is an expert in scamming: he really duped the country. He is so good it would be difficult to trace the monies he ripped off the country.

The best were
1 Komla Abgeli Gbedemah.
2. Kwadwo Baah Wiredu
The worst were
1. Seth Terkper
2. Ken Ofori Atta
And now Cassiel Ato Forson, already corrupt from his dubious ambulance purchases.
