Ofori-Atta struggles to answer if Jesus Christ is happy with how he is managing the economy
The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, seems to be unaware of Jesus Christ’s mood when it comes to how he is managing the economy.
While admitting that the country’s economy is not the best he is optimistic that things will bounce back to normal.
“We are in very difficult unprecedent global times given the Covid-19 situation and the effects of the Russian-Ukraine war,” he explained.
He said prior to these unforeseen circumstances, 1.2m children had been catered for under the Free Senior High School programme, “we have teacher trainees’ allowance, which we never had, we have nursing trainees’ allowance which we never had. Clearly, between 2016 and 2020, we had an economic environment that was par none in the past 15 years.”
Thus, when he was asked in an interview on Hard Truth if Jesus will be happy with him, he said “I think it’s an issue of willingness and obedience to what Christ would like us to do; honest good job done over the period? Yes.
“Holy spirit guiding us to the things we do? Yes. Am I confident that he is leading us in the right direction? Unequivocally.”
“It is very difficult to think that one will be holly enough to the acceptance you constantly pray that you have the courage and the spirit to go on,” he added.
Mr. Ofori-Atta assured that government would chart a sustainable course that will restore macro economic activities.
Hard Truth is aired on JoyNews on Tuesdays between 6:00pm and 7:00pm.
