The former DCE claimed in an interview that if the president is not conflicted with his family affiliation and is able to do away with the said ministers among other measures, the Ghanaian economy will be able to be restored.

Fuseini Donkor made the remarks whiles contributing to discussions on the 2023 budget on the Ade Akye Ebia programme on Okay FM.
