President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has damned critics over the appointment of Investment Banker and his cousin, Ken Ofori Atta as Ghana’s Finance Minister.
He disclosed that the current Finance Minister is competent and will deliver despite the economic challenges facing the country as a result of the activities of the immediate past National Democratic Congress (NDC) government and how it managed the economy.
“He has a problem and I also have a problem but he will deliver. The results have already started showing. People were complaining he is my cousin and so on but if he is and can deliver do you expect me to bring someone who cannot do the job”, he asked.
President Nana Addo who was speaking to Ghanaian residents in Zambia, believes Mr Ken Ofori Atta will be Ghana’s best finance minister as he is set to transform the economy compared to his predecessors.
The President left Ghana, on Monday, 26th June, 2017, for 3-day official, State Visit to the Republic of Zambia, at the invitation of its President, His Excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu”.
While there, the President Akufo-Addo will hold bilateral talks with President Edgar Lungu, aimed at deepening the bilateral ties between Ghana and Zambia, as well as explore other areas of co-operation to the mutual benefit of the two countries.
He was accompanied by the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchway MP, and officials of the Presidency and the Foreign Ministry.

Skin pain paa nie. infact ashi mo papa. Nana will deliver. Dont be a spectator be a citizen.
Professor Mills was supposed to be the best Ghanaian president ever, but he didn't live to see the end of his first term, so nana leave things to God and stop these unnecessary flattery.
this old man is running the presidency with family and frineds. Sophia Akuffo, Glory Akuffo, Nana Asante Bediatuo, her daughter and his friend Dr. osie Akoto. Ghanains ve you seen? u let this old braging, leiying man to convince you that he make gh like haven. and you voted for him ve u seen . all he want is for him to be given a state burial that is why he lie to Ghanaians to vote for him.
This is the type of talk that bring people down. You've been in government for only five to six months and not even one promise has been redeemed yet you have the audacity to tell the whole world that you cousin will be the best finance minister. The cedi keeps going up, Ghanaians are still suffering so what makes him a best finance minister. You said as soon as you assume office prices of goods and services would normalize. As we speak, what is the price of petrol. What was it when the former administration was in power? He has lost words because of old age.
