The Editor for the Informer Newspaper who doubles as the Executive Director of the Atta Mills Institue, Mr. Andy Kankam has appealed to Ghanaians to pray very hard for Minister of Finance designate, Hon. Ken Ofori Attah and people afflicted by the coronavirus in the country.
According to him, only God is the master healer hence the need for everyone to pray hard to eradicate the virus from the country.
Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister nominee, has travelled to the United States of America for “specialist medical review” after suffering “medical complications” occasioned by COVID-19 which was diagnosed in December, an official statement from the Ministry of Finance has said.
He is expected to spend “two weeks” away on the trip seeking further medical “interventions not currently available in Ghana”.
The statement further announced that the leadership of Parliament has been duly notified of his absence since he is expected to appear before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.
“The leadership of Parliament has been duly notified for a new date to be fixed upon his return,” the statement concluded.
Mr. Kankam added that, it has become neccesary for Ken Ofori Attah to be treated in the United State lokking at the facilities over there compared to us.
He urged Ghanaians to adhere to all protocols to help curtail the virus from the country.
“The virus will continue to increase if we do not adhere to all measures given to us by the government”, he said in an interview with Kumasi based radio station Oyerepa fm monitored by Africannewsgh.
