A 3rd external force might hit Ghana soon - Oppong Nkrumah warns of potential China-Taiwan war
General News of Tuesday, 1 November 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comInformation Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has warned Ghanaians of a possible war between China and Taiwan which he said has the possibility of having disastrous consequences on Ghana’s economy. “Do you know that China has extended the tenure of office for Xi Jinping by an extra five years? Oppong Nkrumah, who made these remarks in an Asempa interview monitored by GhanaWeb, said that the media in other countries are seriously discussing the implication of the potential war, but the media in Ghana are silent about it. So, if we are not seeing the implication of the Russia-Ukraine war on our economy, what are we saying about the implication of a potential war between China and Ukraine? He indicated that the president admitted that the country is facing an economic crisis, and calls for him to apologise for it are immaterial.

Five reasons Akufo-Addo does not want to sack his cousin Ken Ofori-Atta
The latest action by the NPP MPs came on the back of several calls for the President to sack Ofori-Atta. This same Ken Ofori-Atta was able to manage the economy for the first three to four years. That is why I have great difficulty in understanding what is going on,” the President told Kumasi-based OTEC FM in an interview. Ken Ofori-Atta is among the relatives of Akufo-Addo who are holding government positions and the president is reported to be loyal to his family members hence the unwillingness to sack Ken Ofori-Atta. But now, he pointed out, “they came to correct the communication outside to say that he [Ken Ofori-Atta] performed in the first three years and that’s why he’s [President Akufo-Addo] not sacking him”.
