Speaking during the press event, Kissi Agyebeng said Ofori-Atta’s doctors have claimed that he is irrelevant and must go but the company did not buy that reason.
According to him per their studies, Ofori-Atta is not in a position where he cannot go but he’s just attempting to apply his wellness as an excuse to leave questioning.
Kissi Agyebeng even refuted reports that the government had taken control of Ofori-Atta’s home, claiming that it was an attempt by the former Minister to win over the general public.
