In response to former president John Dramani Mahama’s demands that finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta be fired, prominent NPP member Gabby Otchere-Darko has responded.
According to Gabby, even when requests were made to Mr. Mahama while he was in power to fire his Finance Minister Seth Terkper for visiting the IMF in 2014–15 when there wasn’t a significant crisis, he stood by him.
“Sir, we still clearly recall the NDC’s calls for you to fire Seth Terkper as your finance minister.
You stuck by him, though Ghanaians were perplexed why IMF in 2014/15, with all the new additional revenues from oil, and no global crisis like now,” Gabby tweeted on Saturday July 2.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President, must be replaced as the leader of the Economic Management Team (EMT), according to Mr. Mahama, because he has failed.
Additionally, he claimed that Mr. Ofori-Atta had overseen the calamitous collapse of the economy and was therefore ineligible to be on the team of negotiators for negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
