Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister

Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) can come for tutorials on what the incumbent government is using loans for in Ghana.

The comment of Mr Ofori-Atta follows an accusation by the Minority in Parliament that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration has borrowed huge sums of money but has no tangible infrastructural project to show for.

To Mr Ofori-Atta, everything the Akufo-Addo-led government is doing is very transparent, therefore, he does not understand why people still ask questions.
