Joe Jackson, the Director of Business Operations at Dalex Finance, expressed scepticism about the timing of the replacement of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta with Mohammed Amin Adam, Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, stating that it is too late to make a significant impact given the proximity to the general elections.
In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, Jackson highlighted the competence of Mohammed Amin Adam, describing him as a first-class economist with experience in development economics and a track record of working for the benefit of the poor and disadvantaged. However, Jackson lamented that Adam's appointment came too close to the elections, leaving insufficient time for him to implement substantial policy changes and make a meaningful impact.
Jackson expressed concern about the limited time available for Adam to execute his plans effectively, questioning the extent to which he could address the country's economic challenges and deliver tangible results before the elections.
Overall, Jackson's remarks reflect doubts about the potential effectiveness of the late ministerial reshuffle in addressing Ghana's economic issues and improving the welfare of disadvantaged groups in society.
