Media personality and comic Kwaku Sintim-Misa, alias KSM, has vehemently asked the Finance Minister of Ghana, Ken Ofori-Atta, to resign.

He said this in a tweet where he claimed to be giving advice to Mr Ofori-Atta.

Again in the tweet, the award-winning comic posited that President Nana Akufo-Addo, who is cousins with Ken Ofori-Atta, has no desire to sack him from his office for a more competent person to assume it, even though it is the best for Ghana’s ailing economy.

“Advice to Ken Ofori-Atta. Bra [brother] Ken, it is obvious the President cannot and will not fire you,” Mr Sintim-Misa began.

“Please do him and Ghana a favour and respectfully resign for a competent financial manager to take charge,” he advised.

According to the TV show host, the resignation of the Finance Minister will be followed by restored confidence in Ghana’s economic recovery.

“I am sure that the financial markets will react positively to the news,” is how he put it.

Kwaku Sintim-Misa’s assertions come on the back of the cedi’s very poor performance against the US dollar.

Bloomberg has named the Ghana cedi as the worst performing currency in the world.

As of the time of this publication, you need a little over 15 cedis to obtain one dollar in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

Recently, the United Kingdom’s Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng was sacked and subsequently their Prime Minister, Liz Truss, also resigned. A section of the Ghanaian public have asked why this is not common in Ghana.
