Ghana’s Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has traveled to the United States of America for post-Covid-19 medical care.
The government said in a statement that “After recovering from Covid-19 last December, Mr Ofori-Atta has had medical complications which doctors advise, require further interventions not currently available in Ghana.”
The statement added that Mr. Ofori-Atta who is due to appear before parliament to be vetted for the position of finance minister “will travel to the US for a special medical review.”
The Finance Ministry said “Parliament has been duly notified for a new date to be fixed upon his return” so he can be vetted.
The 62-year-old minister will be away for two weeks, according to the statement.
