Charles Owusu, a former leader of the Forestry Commission's monitoring unit, has voiced his displeasure with President Nana Akufo-response Addo's to the Majority Caucus' demand that Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta be fired.

The President has been petitioned to remove Charles Adu Boahen, the Finance Minister and the Minister of State in the Finance Ministry, by more than eighty (80) New Patriotic Party lawmakers.

But in a meeting with the disgruntled MPs, the President advised them to hold off until Mr. Ofori-Atta signed the agreement for Ghana to receive financial aid from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Tackling the issue during Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" morning show, Charles Owusu took the President's assurance to the MPs with a pinch of salt.

According to him, the President's statement is just "a nice way to tell the Parliamentarians that I have listened to you but I won't do it".

He wondered what Mr. Ofori-Atta can do in three weeks if he couldn't do it in six years to transform the economy.

"If the 2024 elections are held and the NPP wins, will Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta continue to be the Finance Minister of Ghana?...Someone who has been in government for six (6) good years, if he couldn't do everything he must do in 6 years, what can he do in three (3) weeks?...What change will three weeks bring?", he asked.

Charles Owusu couldn't "understand why it should be difficult" for the President to remove Ken Ofori-Atta "when Ghanaians and members of his party are calling for the removal of this man" as he stressed, "this country will still be governed should Akufo-Addo die today".

Making reference to a biblical account of the freedom of the people of Israel from Egypt, he cautioned President Akufo-Addo not to harden his heart concerning the calls for removing the Finance Minister.

"Pharoah hardened his heart not to let the people of God go and his end resulted in death", he warned the President.
