Ricketts-Hagan, Former Deputy Minister of Finance
The former Deputy Minister of Finance, George Kweku Ricketts-Hagan, said that it was very obvious that President Akufo-Addo had lost all confidence in Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.

Speaking at a roundtable on the morning show "Kokrokoo & # 39; Peace FM, the MP for Cape Coast South told President Akufo-Addo to request the establishment of an economic management team and the creation of a bipartite committee structural causes of the depreciation of the cedi compared to main foreign currencies and make recommendations to combat them, means that the Minister of Finance is "incompetent".
For him, if the President really trusted him, he (the President) would have thought that the Minister of Finance would be able to redress the situation in the economy.
"I am sad for the Minister of Finance. . . it seems that the president is losing confidence in him, because the president asks that a team be formed as the Economic Management Team, that means you are incompetent, "he said.
Town hall meeting
The former Deputy Finance Minister commented on the meeting organized by the Economic Management Team (EMT) during the first intervention of the Vice President of Finance. he mistakenly thought he was attending a "NPP gathering".
"The propaganda continues and never stops … The Minister of Finance came to Parliament and said the same thing … it's like he had come to get ahead of what the vice president was going to say … I was not sure I was listening to an EMT public meeting or a NPP rally, they were the same people who came to Parliament on the same subject through a door -special, "said the Honorable Ricketts-Hagan.
However, he was not surprised by the data or the figures provided by the vice-president because "he likes to use economic figures to mislead us".
