According to the leader of the majority caucus of parliament Hon. Kyei-Mensah Bonsu, the health status of the Finance Minister-Designate Ken Ofori-Atta is still not known and that has informed the decision to allow the Vice President to deliver the budget on his behalf.




Even though the decision has not been finalized yet, three names were suggested to the president include; Alan Kyerematen, Trade Minister-Designate, Dr. Owusu-Afriyie Akoto, Agric Minister-Designate, and Vice President Dr. Mahammud Bawumia.


Meanwhile, the Finance Minister-Designate is currently in the United States for treatment center following some health complications two weeks ago. He is expected to return to work after his two-week treatment leave.
