Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has urged the nation to work together as a unit in finding solutions the raging economic challenges instead of fault-finding and blame-gaming.

“Let us all work as one country to support our labour negotiations, find a solution to the impasse in parliament and rise above witch-hunting and entrapment,” Mr Ofori-Atta said on Friday, 18 November 2022 when he testified before parliament's ad hoc committee that is investigating seven allegations against him in connection with a censure motion filed against him by the minority caucus.

At the hearing, Mr Ofori-Atta also said he did not breach the law when he drew funds from the contingency vault to sponsor the construction of the national cathedral.

"National cathedral is 100 per cent owned by the state and is not the president’s cathedral as described by the proponents", he said.

"Expenditures in respect of the national cathedral were made from the contingency vault under the other government obligations vault as has been the practice before my tenure", Mr Ofori-Atta explained.

“I have several copies of payments from the contingency vault dating back to 2015 to share", he added.

“Honourable co-chairs, as finance minister, I am fully aware of the approval procedures for use of the contingency funds and I have not breached its requirements,” he added on Friday, 18 November 2022.
