Following the resignation of the UK’s Prime Minster, Liz Truss, Ghanaian Actress and Social Critic, Lydia Forson, has questioned the rationale behind Ken Ofori-Atta’s decision to stay in office as the Minister of Finance.
According to her, Ghanaians have lost confidence in Ken Ofori-Atta as the Minister of Finance due to the economic downturn currently being faced by Ghanaians.
In a tweet sighted by GhanaWeb, she said, “It makes absolutely no sense that Ken Ofori-Atta is still the finance minister, how? He’s lost the confidence of the people!”
Lydia Forson enunciated that, though resignation may not solve the current economic crisis which has seen a rampant fall of the cedi against major trading currencies, especially the US dollar, citizens’ morale will be heightened should the minister resign.
“The resignation/firing of the finance minister may not completely boost our economy, but it just may boost our morale”, she maintained
