The development comes after Mr Ofori Atta had to reschedule his vetting over health complications as a result of the testing positive for coronavirus in December 2020.
Ken Ofori-Atta returned to Ghana on Saturday, March 20 after seeking further medical attention in the United States of America, according to a report by Accra-based Asaase Radio.
According to the report sighted by GhanaWeb, the finance minister-designate upon his arrival at the Kotoka International Airport made his way to the Presidency to inform the President Akufo-Addo of his return.
“Ken Ofori-Atta drove straight to the Jubilee House, the seat of the country’s presidency to inform the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, of his recovery and return back to base.”
“While the Finance Minister is clearly on a mend with regard to the medical challenge he suffered, his doctors have advised that he reduces his workload in order to ensure that he makes a complete recovery,” the Asaase Radio report further noted.
Ken Ofori-Atta is said to have spent about thirty days at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, USA, where he received specialized treatment for post-COVID-19 complications.
