Former communications minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah has teased Alan Kyerematen for suddenly resigning as trade minister.

Although the reason for Kyerematen’s resignation is yet to be made public, the senior member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) said the decision to leave Nana Akufo-Addo’s government is belated.

Omane Boamah thinks Alan Kyerematen's resignation is meaningless because he has contributed to the poor performance of the Akufo-Addo government.

“Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, it's [too late], just [too late] to resign from this sinking ship. This NPP government is in its 7th year, and you've been part of the "SOLID TEAM" that has mismanaged the economy.

Dr Omane Boamah is referring to a speech by vice president Mahamudu Bawumia before the economic challenges hit the country.

Dr Bawumia had mentioned Alan Kyerematen along with other big names in the NPP as the “solid team” that make up the Economic Management Team of the Nana Akufo-Addo administration.

However, as the economic challenges – high inflation, the cedi depreciation, among others – intensified many, like Dr Omane Boamah, are asking where the “solid team” is.

“Under your collective watch, Ghana has unilaterally stopped paying debts after over-borrowing. Ghanaians are suffering astronomical inflation, terrible exchange rates, and unprecedented haircuts on investments,” Dr Omane Boamah said.
