Mr. Kwame Pianim said Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta “hasn’t done a good job” managing the economy,
According to Mr. Pianim, “He is over-borrowing and we are not getting value for money”.
“This government is borrowing as if there is no end”, Mr. Pianim said on Wednesday, 22 December 2021.
“Somebody has to pay for it [borrowing]”, he said, explaining: “If you take a bond, I am not going to pay for it; my grandchildren are going to pay for it.”
In his view, he believes the finance minister and the Akufo-Addo government have succeeded in dividing the country with the proposed 1.75 percent e-levy, which threw parliament into chaos on Monday night during a vote on it.
“You managed to divide the country in a way that has never been so divided. Fisticuffs in Parliament; who is going to listen to you?” he asked.
Mr. Pianim told TV3‘s New Day monitored by apexnewsgh.com on Wednesday, 22 December 2021 that Mr. Ofori-Atta “needs to realize that he is not just a budget and expenditure minister” but a Minister for Finance, which means “growing the economy.”
Mr. Pianim also revealed that I tried sharing his thought but unfortunately Mr. Ofori-Atta does not pick his calls so he could share his thoughts with him on the economy.
“The Finance Minister doesn’t take my phone calls,” he said.
“Finance Minister doesn’t take my phone calls”, he stressed.
“Even when I reached out to his personal assistants to book an appointment, he doesn’t give me an appointment”, he complained.
“They know what they are doing”, he stated.
