Former President John Mahama has said it will not be enough for the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, to be replaced.
The former President wants President Akufo-Addo to “reconstitute and take control of the economic management team himself,” which is normally headed by the Vice President.
Mr. Mahama in his address on the state of the economy said the Finance Minister’s position was currently untenable.
Some Majority MPs had called for the dismissal of Mr. Ofori-Atta, and the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen.
The President has asked that he be given time to complete the International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal and 2023 budget.
But Mr. Mahama believes there is no basis for the President’s appeal.
