Prof Ransford Gyampo has slammed the Minority Caucus in Parliament for unanimously approving Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta after constantly criticising him during his first term in office.
In a post on Facebook, he noted that the Minority can no longer be taken serious with their criticisms because Ghanaians are no longer gullible.
“The minority group, especially, their members who pontificate on finance and the economy, owe us an explanation on the unanimous approval of KOA as FM. I personally do not have problems with the FM, but we were, through the incessant bastardization of his policies by the minority group, made to believe that he was the most greedy, insensitive, corrupt and incompetent Minister in the previous administration.”
“Was the Minister that good in his first term to warrant such a unanimous approval? What was the basis of the critical stance against some of his policies by the minority group? Was it just propaganda against him or it was sheer ignorance on their part? Were they criticizing the man just to look good in the sight of the populace? Does it mean their criticisms weren’t well-founded? What?”
“If KOA is that much of a political saint, then the minority group owe Ghanaians an apology for demonizing the man, and henceforth, they must not be taken seriously on their criticisms of government. We cannot be taken for granted all the time by politicians. We aren’t always that gullible. The kind of nauseating politics of convenience being practised in Ghana is a needless sale of the soul of human conscience and this must stop,” excerpt of his statement reads.
