Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta says he understands the pain and suffering being experienced by Ghanaians.

"Everything we have sought to do was to make the life of the Ghanaian better. We have been focused on this vision to improve lives and in the first 4 years, our efforts were leading to the realization of the vision," he said..

The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, appearing before Parliament’s Ad-hoc committee probing the Minority’s censure motion against him, acknowledged "that our economy is facing difficulties and the people of Ghana are enduring hardships" and that he feels "the pain".

"As the person President Akufo-Addo has put in charge of this economy, I feel the pain personally, professionally and in my soul. I see and feel the terrible impact of rising prices of goods and services on the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Ghanaians. I feel the stress of running a business, but it is the strength and perseverance of the Ghanaian people that inspire me and my colleagues in government every morning. That is what gives me the strength to press on to find solutions and relief for Ghanaians to the myriad of problems that our country and the rest of the world are facing especially since March 2020," he added.
