Ken Ofori-Atta, Finance Minister
Some Ghanaians have taken to social media to demand the removal of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
Read full article This comes on the back of some NPP MPs calling for the removal of the finance minister from office due to his abysmal performance.
Aside from the NPP MPs' demand, the Minority has also filed a motion to have Ken Ofori-Atta sacked. The Majority has also threatened to boycott the 2023 budget presentation if the finance minister is not relieved of his post.
The MPs explained that their position follows several concerns over the poor management of the economy, which has forced the government to seek IMF assistance.
Based on this, some Ghanaians have taken to social media pages to join the demand for the removal of the Finance Minister.
"#KenMustGo is not enough! Bawumia should be sacked from his position as Head of Economic Management team. Akufo-Addo must come out boldly to apologize to the business community and the people of Ghana for their failure. His unintelligence has caused this country greatly!" Ekow Djan posted.
“Whatever their motives are the fact still remains that this finance minister has failed abysmally. He has failed as a leader and nothing else is left for him to do than to walk away honourably,” another Twitter user said.
Here are some of the tweets

As usual, #KenMustGo is just a camouflage to divert the anger and energy of the youth. The next Finance minister will work in the same leadership and system. We should be smart enough to lead a charge beyond this - a constitution review, institutional accountability…stay woke!!! https://t.co/TFQg1ef9Il

Oppong Nkrumah and the NPP are waiting for cocoa Syndicate loan to stabilise the cedi for 2 weeks max! This loan is a great canker! Oppong Nkrumah is gradually becoming a clown in the face of Ghanaians. He will realise it when he is out of power! #KenMustGo

Does anyone listen to Ken anymore. Parliament should pass No Vote of Confidence to remove him. He's a total failure.. and a disgrace to our nation. #KenMustGo

Excellent response by the minority in @GhanaParliament . As I said earlier today, Parliament must pass a vote of censure against the Finance Minister of Ghana ASAP. This is not the time for press conferences. It is time for action! #KenMustGo https://t.co/uPuijzJ6Fo
