Andy Appiah-Kubi, the Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim North, has stirred debate by suggesting that Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana\u2019s former Finance Minister, wielded more power than President Nana Akufo-Addo during his tenure as per reports from MyNewsGH on Saturday, December 14, 2024. <\/p>\n
In a candid discussion on Accra-based TV3, Appiah-Kubi claimed that Ofori-Atta often disregarded advice and did not acknowledge the authority of others in government.<\/p>\n
“The President could give him orders, but Ofori-Atta often acted according to his own judgment, not the President’s,” Appiah-Kubi said. <\/p>\n
He further criticized Ofori-Atta\u2019s approach to governance, citing that instead of engaging with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the head of the economic management committee, it was Bawumia who had to visit Ofori-Atta in his office. <\/p>\n
This, Appiah-Kubi argues, disrupted the country\u2019s economic management and led to a deteriorating economic situation. <\/p>\n
According to Appiah-Kubi, this power imbalance undermined the leadership structure and contributed to economic challenges.<\/p>\n
He stated that Ofori-Atta’s reluctance to cooperate with key figures in government was a significant factor in the country\u2019s economic struggles. <\/p>\n
On his own political journey, Appiah-Kubi also shared a personal anecdote. He recounted how Dr. Bawumia once claimed credit for his rise to power, but Appiah-Kubi dismissed this, saying, \u201cI told him my friend, sit down. I did not see your hand in me getting power.\u201d <\/p>\n
This interaction, he revealed, was the catalyst for his advocacy and his role as a spokesperson for the group. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
