Ken Ofori-Atta, minister of finance, should be fired, according to veteran broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, also known as KKD.
KKD asserts that there is substantial evidence indicating that there have been several thefts during his administration.
The broadcaster has therefore demanded that the nation’s chief financial officer be fired.
On Monday, October 31, 2022, during an interview that Countryghana monitored on the JoyNews channel, KKD said that the choice to fire the minister was the right one, just like that of the 80 or so members of parliament who had made it known that they wanted it done.
He explained that the situation has gotten so terrible that even MPs, who typically exercise caution in their interactions .
I saw someone who had used the brand KFC. I don’t know why, but about 22 people sent it to me. but if you think of it carefully, those MPs who stood up to speak have acted with courage; courage they got from their constituents. Because don’t forget this; because of the way our government is set up, nearly every MP whose government is in power is angling for a ministerial position, so they try as much as possible not to offend the president, but I think they’ve gotten to a point where they think ‘even if this president gives me an appointment, I don’t want it,’ “he said.
Ken Ofori-Atta should be fired as the minister of finance, according to KKD.
The seasoned broadcaster demanded that he be fired, likening him to an uncle who takes advantage of a very delicate position for his own selfish goals.
He added that the finance minister’s acts and performance have brought shame on his clan and are an obvious sign of his selfishness.
“Ken must go! Ken must go because there has been too much thievery under him; thievery which we simply want to call, ‘Oh, it’s unethical’ but I’m telling if you live in a home where two children have sickle cell and one has (sic) and you have an uncle in the home that says things have gotten so bad, we need to go borrow money to perform a surgery for these children.
“And that uncle then goes to see somebody from whom he can borrow money; all he needs is a $100 million, and the person from whom he’s borrowing money, will also ensure that he makes $9.8 million, Ghanaians, will you trust that uncle? That uncle is Ken Ofori Atta
“You have embarrassed us, you have disgraced our fathers. Your father came to live a good life but you have disgraced us; you have disgraced the Akyem people and other tribes who have married into our clan because they include the Akyem, the Akuapem and the Nzema. You have disgraced us; you are greedy,” he said.
