Ken Ofori-Atta Is The Biggest Obstacle Towards The Development Of Ghana

So long as Ken Ofori Atta remains the Finance Minister, Ghana will be impoverished, financial institutions will perform poorly to sustain the hopeless economy and the high rate of unemployment will sharply increase.

Very often, psychologists and psychiatrists trace the cause of people’s ailments to their homes. It’s, therefore, likely that since Akufo Addo is corrupt, all the family members he has appointed in his government, have the same corruption hereditary in their DNA.

Before going further with this article, I need to explain to Ghanaians why even though I am not a political analyst, it's very clear that the current government in power has nothing better to offer the common suffering people.

I am a man who has suffered a great deal, after my father’s sudden death when I was just 19 at secondary school. As the elder son, I sold bread, cakes, eggs, and banana, hawking on the streets of Accra.

I was a taxi driver in Accra and also a taxi and tro-tro driver at Cape Coast Kotokuraba Station while writing as a freelance journalist to the Daily Graphic, The Mirror, The Ghanaian Times, and the Weekly Spectator, at the same time.

I was paid very well by Daily Graphic, which made me believe that if you are a good writer you’ll never go hungry in Ghana.

At the Cape Coast station, today, I don't think any driver will know the name Joel Savage but the old drivers there will tell you who Ato Savage was.

While in Ghana, I did some courses at the Ghana Institute of Journalism, under tutorial functions given by Mr. David Newton.

When I traveled out of Ghana, I lived in Nigeria, Guinea, Gambia, and Sierra Leone before making it to Europe three decades ago.

It, therefore, provokes me to realize that the suffering which forced me out of Ghana many years ago, still exists, so when will Ghana be a better country to care for the poor people?

Ken Ofori Atta is not qualified to be a Finance Minister, his relative, Akufo Addo gave him that appointment to protect the family's corruptible deals

Imagine, the journalists who suppose to help build a better country have been offered posts by the cunning, corrupt president, Nana Akufo Addo because he doesn't want to be exposed.

The journalists that have accepted political posts from the president have soiled the credibility of journalism in Ghana.

Akufo Addo has even got Captain Smart arrested because he sees him as a threat to expose his incurable corruption.

Ghana has been rough in the past and there has always been corruption but not under such magnitude in regards to the NPP government.

In an article entitled “Take The Blame Akufo Addo, The Establishment Of Family Government Has Destroyed Ghana,” I asked the Ghanaian leader, how does he expect Ghana to be after appointing his family members to manage the offices of the main pillars holding a country?

Akufo Addo wouldn’t like his corruptible deals to be exposed, therefore, he appointed his relative, Ken Ofori-Atta as the Finance Minister.

He also appointed another relative Gloria Akuffo as the Chief Justice to weaken the judiciary system to avoid prosecuting anyone involved in corruption in his administration.

After Gloria Akuffo, the president appointed another corrupt Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah, who followed the same incompetency and corruption of Gloria Akufo.

Akufo Addo is the kind of leader he likes easy life, against an investigation, this is one of the reasons he keeps people such as Anin-Yeboah, Eugene Arhin, Charles Bissiw, Paul Adom-Otchere, and many others involved in corruption in his administration. The truth is such people hardly succeed in life.

Apart from the massive corruption that has taken over the administration of the NPP government, Ken Ofori-Atta’s role as Finance Minister has taken a very serious impact on the economy of Ghana.

The question I still can’t find an answer to is why Ghanaians are still entertaining this crook as your Finance Minister, to the extent that he has the guts to impose E-Levy on you? Who is so stupid to carry the burden of someone’s mess?

How possible that Ghana is under such a huge debt, yet the Finance Minister can’t even tell Ghanaians what the money was used for? What is even the significance of E-Levy in Ghana if the government has stolen more money than what they can get from this senseless taxation?

Until Ken Ofori-Atta steps down as the Finance Minister, the country will be at the same place as a vehicle that has gotten a flattened wheel. Ghana will be ruined beyond recovery, I think the damage has already been done.
