The Member of Parliament for the Obuasi West Constituency, Kwaku Kwarteng, has offered clarification on his decision to reject the opportunity to serve as a minister in the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

As the former Deputy Finance Minister, Kwarteng was initially considered for a ministerial position during the significant reshuffle in President Akufo-Addo’s government.

Reports indicate that Mr. Kwarteng, initially slated for a role, declined the offer due to a falling out with the government after losing his deputy ministerial position.

In a statement dated February 16, 2024, Mr. Kwarteng outlined his reasons for declining the offer, stating that he believes he can contribute more effectively to the government’s work from his position in Parliament.

“I am also thankful and humbled by the knowledge that our President found me worthy to serve in the Executive in the recent reshuffle. I declined for the following reasons: The role of Parliament in the work of the Executive, especially in matters relating to finance and economy, is critical. It is my humble belief that I can better support the work of government from Parliament.”

He expressed gratitude to the President for his mentorship throughout his political career, affirming his ongoing commitment to support the President’s vision in any way possible.
