The Forensic Auditor, Awuni Akyireba, has stated that the Finance Minister disrespected Ghanaians by trying to explain the weak performance of the cedi during his censure in parliament.
The worst finance minister in the history of the nation’s financial administration, according to him, was Ken Ofori-Atta.
“He has done nothing; he is the worst financial manager in the history of the nation. He is not helpful, and I view that as being courteous to all citizens, he said.
In an interview with Don Kwabena Prah on Happy98.9 FM’s “Epa Hoa Daben” socio-political talk show, he alleged that individuals with first grade in accounting or financing will appreciate the intensity of the cedi depreciation due to demerit decisions by the Minister.
“We must be told that even a first-degree holder in accounting or financing knows better that his bad decisions brought the cedi here and not because the citizens are dumb,” he stressed.
He indicated that the presence of traditional elders and government leaders to support him during his censure made the situation disgusting and unconscionable.
“What disgusts me most is the Chiefs and Ministers being paid with taxpayers’ money appearing to support him, we say we do not want him and you’ve left your work there to support him,” he bemoaned.
“If we had leaders who were responsive, the president would have demoted them. You leave your work to support Ken Ofori-Atta at the expense of the country, with the country’s car, fuel and salaries. This should tell you the calibre of people we have elected, very bad appalling and insulting to the Ghanaian intelligent” he added.
