The decision by President Akufo-Addo to make Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta the Finance Minister, would go a very long way to prolong his stay in office, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party has said.

According to Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako the presence of Mr. Ofori-Atta in this current administration has shown clearly that President Akufo-Addo has surrounded himself with competent people unlike the "non performing" ministers who made up former President Mahama's government.

Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi explained that 2020 budget statement presented by Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta proved clearly that President Akufo-Addo's government has put the plight of Ghanaians first and is a caring one.

Chairman Wontumi stated that "If Mahama had a competent minister like Ken Ofori-Atta to serve under him, he would have dropped on his knees and given thanks to God. You can't even compare his non performing ministers to the current ones serving under President Akufo-Addo."

He continued that "President Akufo-Addo is fortunate to have a competent cousin by his side; if John Mahama had a competent cousin like Ken, he would have ruled Ghana for long but he has none".
