The single digit inflation under his tenure, Kwabena Duffuor has been the worst performing of all the Finance Ministers since 1992. The unprecedented fiscal indiscipline in 2012 can be traced to his doorstep. This is because in any country’s public expenditure management system including that of Ghana a Finance Minister has the power to say No..No..No to by heart spending. He or she can tell anybody including the Big Boss, the President, ‘we cannot do this’. Of course he or she could get sacked as a result The Finance Minister’s job is not about holding a Doctorate or Professorship in Economics. It is more about the discipline and strong will of the person in that hot seat to protect the nation’s purse against cheaters, looters and sharers who exist in droves in all our political parties be it NDC, NPP, PPP, CPP, PNC or GCPP. If you are a Finance Minister and you loose guard, they will chop the people’s money well well.
