Finance Minister-designate Ken Ofori-Atta has shown gratitude for his post-COVID-19 complication treatment progress.
In his first public comment after seeking medical attention in the United States, Mr Ofori-Atta recounted the “very trying period,” adding that “it has been a miracle to be here”.
“God has been merciful, and I am particularly grateful for the prayer support,” he said.
He was grateful to his family and support from Ghanaians, as he sang praises unto God.
He alluded to the Bible and how God saved Peter from prison, comparing it to how he has been miraculously saved.
“The doctors here (US) have been fantastic and dedicated but even they, acknowledge that there must be someone upstairs who is watching over you because the numbers have been so critical”.
He was speaking during an online Post Budget Forum organised by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the 2021 Budget.
The Ministry of Finance announced on February 14 that Mr Ofori had travelled for medical treatment.
The ministry explained he suffered from COVID-19 in December 2020 but later had medical complications which doctors advise, “require further interventions not currently available in Ghana”.
The 62-year-old was scheduled to appear before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 for vetting, following his nomination by President Akufo-Addo to continue as finance minister in the second term.
