Ranking Member of the Finance Committee, Isaac Adongo, has described the recent ministerial reshuffling and the removal of Ken Ofori-Atta as Minister of Finance as mere "window dressing."
While acknowledging the competence of Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, Adongo expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the reshuffle, suggesting that Ofori-Atta would still wield significant influence despite his departure from office.
In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM on February 14, 2024, Adongo stated, "this is clearly window dressing." He highlighted that the appointment of Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam as Minister of Finance, coupled with Ofori-Atta's new role as Senior Presidential Advisor on the Economy, indicates that Amin's policies would still be subject to Ofori-Atta's influence.
Adongo explained, "Technically it means that Mohammed Amin cannot do anything if Ofori-Atta is not in agreement because he would advise the president against it."
On the same day, February 14, 2024, Ken Ofori-Atta stepped down from his position as Minister of Finance and Economic Planning after seven years in office. This move followed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's announcement of a reshuffle in his ministerial appointees amid reports of significant changes in his final year as president.
Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, formerly Minister of State in charge of Finance, has been appointed as Ofori-Atta's successor as Minister of Finance.
