Minister-designate for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has said that the newly nominated Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Joshn Asiama is overly qualified for the job.
He said Dr Asaiama is a known economic and finance expert with significant acumen. "He has worked in a previous capacity as the second deputy governor of the BoG and therefore is uniquely qualified to hold the position of governor of the BoG. "That is what President Mahama considered in appointing him to the position, and we believe that he will do a very good job," Ofosu stated.
He emphasised that the government is not worried about the opposition adding that stakeholders within the financial sector and the economy are well-grounded and understand the issues at hand. "Government is not concerned.
All the stakeholders within the financial sector, the stakeholders in the economy are people who are well-grounded and know what exactly the issues are regarding the economy and the nation's finances. 'They know too well that political actors want to grandstand and dabble in all manner of theatrics as a way of furthering their political interest. "I am not sure that any serious investor out there or any player in the Ghanaian economy will make decisions based on some issues that the minority are raising, which are not grounded and motivated by politicking," Kwakye Ofosu explained on Citi FM Wednesday, February 5.
