Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea, has publicly expressed the belief that the resignation of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta could contribute to a more peaceful atmosphere in Ghana.
During an interview with Citi TV on Tuesday, Atta Akyea emphasized the importance of self-reflection on Ofori-Atta’s part. He urged the Finance Minister to consider stepping down for his personal well-being and the overall benefit of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Atta Akyea acknowledged the growing chorus demanding Ofori-Atta’s resignation, with some Members of Parliament within the NPP joining the calls. The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has also consistently held the Finance Minister responsible for prevailing fiscal challenges.
While recognizing the burdens on Ofori-Atta and the emotional distress expressed during previous calls for his resignation, Atta Akyea suggested that the Finance Minister’s departure might contribute to a more peaceful environment for both the government and the nation.
“He should look at himself and look at the troubles that everybody believes, I mean when he is not there then the nation will have peace…He should save himself and save the government and have his peace because he needs it,” Mr. Atta Akyea said.
