“I Don’t Know How Ken Ofori-Atta Will Feel Watching TV in America” – Agbodza

According to a report by JoyNews and The1957News on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has taken a swipe at former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta over his handling of Ghana’s economy and infrastructure development during his time in office.

The minister made the remarks while commenting on the government’s efforts to improve infrastructure and undertake projects across the country. He used the opportunity to compare the current administration’s performance with that of the previous government.

In his statement, Agbodza questioned how Ken Ofori-Atta would feel watching television in the United States and seeing projects and developments that he believes the former Finance Minister could not achieve while in office.

“I don’t know how Ken Ofori-Atta will feel watching TV in America and seeing the things he couldn’t do being done,” he stated.

The comment appears to be a criticism of the previous government’s economic management and its approach to infrastructure development. It also highlights the political differences between the current administration and the former government over their respective records in office.

Ken Ofori-Atta served as Ghana’s Finance Minister under former President Nana Akufo-Addo. His tenure was marked by major economic challenges, including rising public debt, inflation, currency depreciation and Ghana’s engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial support.

Agbodza’s remarks come at a time when the current government is highlighting its infrastructure plans and efforts to improve the country’s development.

His comments are likely to attract reactions from both supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), particularly as the debate over the economic records of the two administrations continues.

The statement has once again brought attention to the political debate over economic management, infrastructure delivery and the performance of successive governments in Ghana.
