The senior partner and co-founder of Africa Legal Associates (ALA), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has praised President Akufo-Addo's decision to appoint Dr Mohammed Amin Adam as the replacement for Ken Ofori-Atta.
In his assessment, Otchere-Darko described Dr Amin Adam as both humble and competent, making him a suitable successor to his former boss.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Otchere-Darko emphasised that President Akufo-Addo's choice could not have been better for the Finance Ministry.
Congratulations to Amin Adam. Ghana’s President couldn’t have found a more prepared, competent, humble and politically-conscious, personable replacement to take control of the country’s finances than you. Reactions from the public suggest strong approval. https://t.co/1jT4pelxvx

"Congratulations to Amin Adam. Ghana’s President couldn’t have found a more prepared, competent, humble and conscious, personable replacement to take control of the country’s finances than you. Reactions from the public suggest strong approval."
President Akufo-Addo has nominated Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam as the new Finance Minister, replacing Ken Ofori-Atta, who served in the position for seven years.
The announcement came as part of the latest ministerial reshuffle released by President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, February 14.
Despite facing significant challenges and calls for his dismissal from some members of Ghana's Parliament, Ken Ofori-Atta served as Ghana's longest-serving finance minister.
On October 25, 2022, around 80 NPP MPs demanded Ofori-Atta's resignation due to the country's struggling economy. Similar calls were echoed by the NDC parliamentary caucus in February 2023.
However, President Akufo-Addo rejected these calls for resignation, urging Parliament to wait until discussions with the IMF concluded.
