Justice A. Newton-Offei Writes: Is the Finance Minister Mallam Tia?

Donald J. Trump cuts aid to Ghana by suspending operations of USAID – US Agency for International Development, and John Dramani Mahama orders the Finance Minister to look for money to fill the gap.

An estimated $100m is needed to complete phase II of the Keta Sea defense project, and during a visit to the place, John Mahama orders the Finance Minister to look for money to fully complete the project.

Again, according to Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Health Minister, $400m is needed to fully complete Agenda 111 started by NPP, and John Mahama has ordered the Finance Minister to look for the money.

Is the Finance Minister a member of these Mallam Tia and his group of money-conjurors? John Mahama’s hymnal is “the economy is broke” so where does he expect Cassiel Ato Forson to get the cash from?

The man is smartly shifting responsibility to the Minister, just to mask his cluelessness. You claim to be privy to the books, and that, the nation’s coffers is empty so why such orders to the innocent Finance Minister?
