What Ofori-Atta Couldn’t Do, Ato Forson Is Doing – Roads Minister

byMavis FanteviNovember 10, 20260 The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has taken a swipe at former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, suggesting that the current Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, is achieving what his predecessor could not during his time in office.

Speaking during an inspection of progress on the Dambai Bridge project, Mr Agbodza praised the Mahama administration for its approach to economic management, particularly its ability to undertake major infrastructure projects without depending heavily on external loans.

He said the ongoing development was proof that Ghanaians could achieve more when they worked together and made effective use of the country’s resources.

According to the Roads Minister, the government intends to discontinue loan arrangements for three other projects because it believes Ghana has the financial capacity to undertake them without borrowing.

He argued that the development reflects a more efficient and smarter approach to managing the economy compared with the previous administration.

Mr Agbodza also made a direct reference to Mr Ofori-Atta, questioning how the former Finance Minister would feel watching the current government’s achievements from the United States.

“I don’t know how my good friend Ken Ofori-Atta will be feeling watching television from America right now. What he couldn’t do and can’t even be around to see,” he remarked.

He, however, expressed the wish that the former Finance Minister would be able to return to Ghana and witness the developments for himself, adding that nobody had asked him not to return to the country.

The Roads Minister further commended Dr Ato Forson for his management of the economy, expressing confidence that his approach would leave a lasting mark on Ghana’s economic history.

“I believe without a doubt, Honourable Cassiel Ato Forson will go down in history as perhaps the best Finance Minister ever.” he said.

Mr Agbodza maintained that the government’s economic direction would create opportunities for investment and contribute to a lasting development legacy.

He also urged Ghanaians to support President John Dramani Mahama, saying collective support was necessary for the administration to achieve its development objectives.
