\"Policy <\/a>Policy analyst, Dr Steve Manteaw<\/p>\n

Policy analyst Dr Steve Manteaw has described <\/a>Ken Ofori-Atta<\/a> as Ghana\u2019s most incompetent finance minister.<\/p>\n

He says in Ghana\u2019s economic history, he will go down as the worst to have managed the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

To Steve Manteaw, Ofori-Atta\u2019s only understanding of the management of an economy was reckless borrowing and nothing else.<\/p>\n

But for <\/a>Ken Ofori-Atta<\/a>\u2019s recklessness, the country would not have found itself in the dire economic situation it is in.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou mean the most incompetent finance Minister in the economic history of Ghana, who’s only understanding of economic management was reckless borrowing? It is his mismanagement that led the country into the DDEP in the first place,\u201d he said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n

Steve Manteaw used the opportunity to hail Cassiel Ato Forson<\/a>\u2019s management of the economy in six months indicating that \u201cThe macro data have exceeded most IMF programme targets. And all it took was fiscal prudence and efficient spending.
