Ghana’s economy is struggling at the moment due to the bad policies of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, a member of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah has said.

In his view, the Finance Minister’s policies, rather than ameliorating the hardships of Ghanaians, have deepened their woes.

To that end, he wants the Finance Minister to leave office.

A Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Haruna Mohammed responded to him saying “This same Ofori-Atta managed the economy and grew the economy.”
