In a shocking turn of events following President Nana Addo’s recent cabinet reshuffle, Ken Ofori Atta, former Minister of Finance, has taken up residence at the Flagstaff House alongside Vice President Bawumia, raising eyebrows and concerns about potential mismanagement of the Finance Ministry from the presidency.
President Nana Addo’s decision to reorganize his cabinet has left many puzzled, especially with the unconventional move of having Ken Ofori Atta physically present at the Flagstaff House. Critics argue that such proximity to the presidency could lead to blurred lines of responsibility and decision-making, potentially impacting the effective management of the Finance Ministry.

The opposition, led by John Dramani Mahama, has seized upon this unexpected development to highlight what they perceive as a lack of transparency and accountability in the government’s handling of key ministries. Mahama’s campaign is focusing on promising well-paying jobs through the 24-hour economy initiative, a plan aimed at boosting economic growth and job creation.
Dr. Omane Boamah, the Director of Elections & IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), voiced his concerns over the reshuffle, stating that the move could lead to a concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals, potentially hindering the progress of the country.
As the political landscape heats up in the wake of these developments, Ghanaians are left wondering about the implications of such a move on the nation’s economic stability and growth. The upcoming election is sure to be influenced by these recent events, as voters weigh the potential impact on their livelihoods and the overall direction of the country.
