The Minister had told Ghanaians that the country will not go to the IMF for a bailout.
But the President 1 July 2022, President directed him to commence formal engagements with the Fund.
Several individuals have asked him to resign if he has any integrity.
However, speaking to the media at the ongoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) annual national delegates’ conference in Accra on Saturday (16 July), Ofori-Atta said he will not resign.
“It is almost like telling a father to resign from his children because he is changed his mind. There are times that decisions have to be made for the survival of a country and therefore if circumstances such as COVID or the Ukraine war occur which are not typical, it does change the environment, and sensible people will change their minds,” Ofori-Atta added.
