Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has quashed rumors of his resignation from the position within the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

Speculations circulated on Monday, December 18, suggesting his departure from the role of Minister of Finance and Economic Planning.

In a tweet shared via the X handle of the Office of the Finance Minister, Ofori-Atta, who participated in a thanksgiving event with ministry staff, hinted at his readiness to continue leading the Ministry of Finance into 2024.

"I am assured that the Lord will continue to lead and guide us in 2024. Our testimony is indeed victory on every side! Humbled to be leading the brilliant and resilient TeamMoF,” read the post.

Ken Ofori-Atta, who recently presented the last budget of the Akufo-Addo administration in November, received a guard of honor from Ministry of Finance staff.

As the longest-serving finance minister in the 4th Republic of Ghana, he has faced criticism from members of the governing NPP and the public for the management of the Ghanaian economy, currently under an IMF program.

“Today I joined the staff of @MoF_Ghana in thanksgiving for God’s mercy & preservation in 2023. I am assured that the Lord will continue to lead and guide us in 2024. Our testimony is indeed victory on every side! Humbled to be leading the brilliant and resilient #TeamMoF #Nissi.”
