A member of the Finance Committee of Parliament and Member of Parliament (MP) for Obuasi West, Kwaku Kwarteng has opined that fixing the economy needs much more work than the appointment of new people to work at the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n

President John Mahama has appointed Dr. John Kofi Baffoe, an Economist with the African Development Bank as a Technical Advisor to the Minister for Finance. <\/span><\/p>\n

He has also appointed Mrs. Mona Quartey, as a deputy Minister at the Ministry of Finance.<\/span><\/p>\n

But according to the Obuasi West MP, the\u00a0 country does not need changes at the Finance Ministry, but rather, a strong political will from President Mahama to transform the economy.<\/p>\n

“Our economy is going through difficulties right now and the decisions that are needed to turn round things are political decisions; \u2026but what we have been lacking has been the political courage and commitment to cut the waste and the corruption and to provide a fair environment in which our production base can expand,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kwarteng noted that the president should\u00a0rather tackle the most important issues affecting \u00a0the nation’s economy. He urged the president to pay attention to\u00a0his \u2018\u2019political decisions\u2019\u2019 instead of changing the \u2018\u2019technical people or his lieutenants\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
