Economic crisis: I pity Ofori-Atta – Kwesi Pratt

Veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jr. has expressed sympathy for Ken Ofori-Atta, the finance minister.

He claims he is saddened that the Finance Minister is facing criticism about his position and that some Ghanaians and members of his political party, the New Patriotic Party, are clamoring for his resignation.

Ken Ofori-Atta should step down for his own good, Mr. Pratt said on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” morning show.

“I’ve already said that I don’t understand why he is till staying in office. I just cannot understand”, he told host Nana Yaw Kesseh.

“…I pity the man. The pressure that this man, who we all know is not so well, is going through is disturbing. If he were your brother, father or nephew, would you be happy?”, he stressed.
