The former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen has expressed displeasure at President Akufo-Addo’s choice of Ken Ofori-Atta as caretaker minister for the Ministry of Trade and industry. Nana Obiri Boahen asserted that the President erred in appointing Ken Ofori-Atta to the Trade and Industry Ministry in place of Alan Kyerematen. He stated that while legally and constitutionally, the president's choice was correct, it was wrong politically and morally. Constitutionally the president was right, legally the president was right, but politically it was wrong and morally it was wrong. Abu Jinapor has replaced Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, who was given stewardship of the trades ministry a few days ago after the resignation of Alan Kyerematen.
