This comes after the Finance Ministry announced that Mr. Ofori-Atta was flying to the US for a medical review following some COVID-19 complications.

In a Facebook post, A Plus wished the Finance Minister a speedy recovery and said the nation will remember him in prayers.

“Speedy recovery Sir. We shall remember you in prayer. But please when you come back let's look for donations to build a world class hospital instead of a cathedral so that our leaders won't travel all the way to America. See you soon stronger than ever,” he wrote.
