Ken Ofori-Atta, the Minister of Finance, was removed in the Valentine’s Day ministerial shuffle.
On Wednesday, February 14, the presidency released a press statement listing all of the fired, reassigned, and newly appointed ministers.
Given Ofori-Atta’s significant position in the cabinet, many political watchers are taken aback by the President’s choice.
Ken Ofori-Atta, his boss, is being replaced as the Minister of Finance designate by Dr. Mohammed Adam Amin Anta, the MP for Karaga and Minister of State in the Finance Ministry.
Adam is a seasoned technocrat with a wealth of knowledge in the banking, oil, and gas industries. The government’s dedication to economic growth and stability is evident in Adam’s nomination.
Adam will be held to a high standard when he assumes this significant role, especially because the nation is still awaiting an International Monetary Fund (IMF) settlement.
In order to improve the party’s standing ahead of the December election, a comprehensive reorganization has been carried out.
