Why Finance Minister Amin Adam Will Frequent Manhyia Palace Now
The newly appointed Finance Minister, Hon. Mohammed Amin Adam plans to frequent the Manhyia Palace to meet with the King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, now.
He intends to tap into the encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom of His Majesty the King in his herculean mandate in the next ten months.
“Soon after I was appointed to take over from my boss, Ken Ofori Atta, I knew that this Palace was going to be a constant place of visit to me because of the wisdom God has endowed you with which you have always used to support leader after leader to steer the affairs of our country.
“Many people do not know but I have come to you several times. The last time I came to you was just last month and I’m here again to seek your blessings and your wise counsel.
“This office is a very challenging office, especially at this time and it’s only wise counsel from you that will guide me through this job successfully,” he said during his visit to the Manhyia Palace on February 20, 2024, to formally introduce himself as the country’s current Finance Minister.
He was in the accompany of Deputy Finance Minister John Ampontuah Kumah, Chief Director Eva Eselba Mends, Director of Economic Strategy and Research Alhassan Iddrisu, Director of Policy Coordination Monitoring and Evaluation Division Augustus Kwesi Adu and others.
Hon Amin Adam was reassigned to the Finance Ministry on Wednesday, February 14, 2024. Prior to that, he was the Deputy Minister for Energy responsible for the Petroleum Sector.
He takes over from Ken Ofori Atta who has reportedly been appointed as the Senior Presidential Advisor on the Economy and Special Envoy on International Investments and Capital Markets.
