Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has expressed that Ghanaians are looking forward to the end of Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
In a brief statement, after President Akufo-Addo delivered the State of the Nation Address, Dr Ato Forson remarked, “Ghanaians will not miss President Akufo-Addo and Dr Bawumia. We know you are going. We can only wish you bye bye. But you will never be missed.”
Dr Ato Forson specifically criticized the high unemployment rate in Ghana, stating that peasant farmers are facing significant challenges.
The Minority Leader also chided the president for bloating his ministerial team with his recent appointment to former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
President Akufo-Addo has appointed Ofori-Atta as Presidential Advisor to the President on the Economy.
According to Dr Ato Forson, “Our president following the recent ministerial reshuffle has increased the size of government. Mr Speaker today we have a Minister for Finance Domestic and Minister for Finance International.”
Despite Akufo-Addo’s assertions of his government’s achievements, including a stable exchange rate, implementation of free Senior High School education, and strides in digitalization, the opposition remains critical of his tenure.
