The former District Chief Executive of Sekyere Afram Plains, Fuseini Donkor has advised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sack three ministers as a means of getting the Ghanaian economy back on track.
Donkor fingered Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyeremanten and Agriculture Minister, Dr Afriyie Akoto, as the three holding the country back.
Speaking in an interview, he said the President should set aside familial ties, fire the above ministers and also, reduce the absurd number of Presidential staffers to reduce public expenditure.
“Sack three of your ministers to save Ghana, sack Ken Ofori-Atta, the agric minister Afriyie Akoto and Alan Kyerematen and see if this country won’t develop.” he said.
Donkor added: “Trade and industry ministry, what are we doing there? One District, One Factory should have saved us from the dollar crunch, the depreciation of the cedi, the cedi wouldn’t have depreciated this much if the 1D1F was operating properly.
“That factory is supposed to produce goods that will be exported in order to earn more money, but instead it imports more materials than it exports, which is one of the contributing factors to the cedi’s depreciation,” he alleged.
Fuseini Donkor made the remarks whiles contributing to discussions on the 2023 budget on the Ade Akye Ebia programme on Okay FM.
