Ken Ofori-Atta

We need real growth.

So what I was expecting the finance minister to tell us was as a result of the prudent measures they have put in place to run the economy, employment has grown by a certain percentage.

Again, I will look at the opportunities in the private sector.

Government cancelled the 1D1F.

Okay.

And Saint Gabi says that very simple.

Bring the former finance minister, Ken Ofori Atatou, come and clear the accounts for his stewardship, to come and defend his balance sheet.

Those are very diverse perspectives, but it takes us to something important.

The employer must demonstrate that the required payments have been made, particularly for promoted teachers who have been waiting for their arrears.

A pressure group, Democracy in Progress, is demanding the prosecution of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and his co-accused Ernest Darko of alleged corruption in the Strategic Mobilization Ghana Limited contract.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of its Operation Recover All Loot Accountability demonstration, spokesperson Solomon Wusu said accountability must apply regardless of which political party is in power.

The group says the Mobilization Ghana Limited contract represent a blatant misuse of state funds, and those implicated must face justice to deter others from similar act.

What belongs to the republic belongs to the republic.

What belongs to the taxpayer must be protected.

Ladies and gentlemen, how can we call ourselves a nation of accountability when a former, a former, a former, a former minister of finance, [coughs] Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, a cabinet of the former President Akufo-Addo, who managed the nation's purse for some seven years, has been declared a fugitive of justice by the Office of the Special Prosecutor and remains outside the country while charges await him here at home? Oh, grandpa, this is not how we wanted it.

We find this deeply troubling, ladies and gentlemen.
