According to the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), Ken Ofori- Atta's has come to represent failure and incompetence.

On Monday, October 24, 2022, Mr. Arnold Boateng, general secretary of the pro-government organization, stated that "obviously, it looks like the Finance Ministry and the administration have lost the ball on the economy."

In an interview with Citi FM in Accra, he stated, "Reassign the Finance Minister and Adu-Boahen because they have been there for a long time and their activities have generated the mess we are in now.

In Mr Boateng's view, Mr Ofori-Atta's "posture does not augur well" for the country's economic circumstances, adding: "He has lost the trust of the nation."

"The name Ken Ofori-Atta has become synonymous with failure; synonymous with incompetence and any adjective you can call.”

AFAG also said President Akufo-Addo must tackle the economy “not just by giving a speech but by taking concrete actions which will strengthen the cedi.”

“What is worrying AFAG is there is no concrete assurance either from the President or from the BOG on these issues,” Mr. Boateng said.

“People dropping the ball has led us here and if we do not take the necessary actions, we will have a time bomb on our hands, and we cannot address that.”
