The NPP has failed the country. Although there is an Economic Management Team (EMT), the finance minister holds ultimate power, depending on how the president manages the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder previous administrations, the EMT did not have such power, but because the finance minister is the president\u2019s cousin, it is difficult to control him. Even when the majority of MPs wanted to remove the finance minister, their efforts were unsuccessful because the president did not support it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever actions the finance minister took were with the president\u2019s knowledge and approval.
