Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, Political Science Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has described as "senseless and untenable" President Akufo-Addo's plea for Ken Ofori-Atta to stay until the 2023 budget statement is presented to Parliament.
The President, following the MPs' demand to axe the Finance Minister, held an emergency meeting pleading for some time.
According to a statement from the Majority caucus, the President wants Ken Ofori-Atta to conclude with "the round of negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the presentation of the Budget Statement and Economic Policy in November 2022 and the subsequent passage of the Appropriation Bill after which time the demand will be acted upon.”
However, Dr Amoako Baako interacting with Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Neat FM, said: "it is not tenable, it doesn't make sense. If you intend to bring a new person why don't you do it now? unless there's something very crucial for Ofori-Atta to do, but I don't think there is; it's just a coverup; every other explanation doesn't make sense. If I were him (Ofori-Atta), I would have resigned..."

It is sad to see this it seems that Ghana belongs to NaNa .You brought somebody to help if the person is not performing change him because was your financer you want him to stay there to make his money. Nana would not listen to advice from any one unless. We disappointed, were hoping he will change the situation. Mamaha was running in track was not performing, the youth thought Nana will do better. When the baton was given to Nana, started very well we all stared praise him hoping things will change. Then immediate drop to Mamaha's track doing worse. Corruption, family and, wasting money from the taxes, more taxes from Ghanaians, more importation, twisting the police and judiciary system, high prizes of food and fuel even most Ghanaians have become wicked and indiscipline among the youth.
Another cheap moron who makes noise and practices his economics degree only in the classroom yet have problems with every move that the government makes. This man has no clue as to how governance work. Noice maker!
