Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta should be standing trial for his role in the collapse of some financial institutions in 2017 and 2018 and not vetting for re-appointment, Executive Director for the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), Mensah Thompson has said.

Speaking on Neat FM he explained that the Finance Ministry acted in contravention of the Banking Act 930 and the Security Industry Act 929.

“We believe that Ken Ofori-Atta is unfit to occupy the position of Finance Minister. He engaged in a number of violations of the public financial laws. Our conviction is that Ken Ofori-Atta committed a number of illegalities and took the country through some difficulties,” he was quoted by Ghanaweb.

“He conducted himself in ways that we think at this particular point, he should be standing criminal prosecution, not vetting for political appointment. He should be standing criminal trial.

“The manner in which the banks were collapsed, we believe that it was against the Banking Act 980 and the security industry act 929. There are instances where his actions directly facilitated the collapse of banks”, he said.
