Kwabena Duffuor

Kwabena Duffuor was a competent Finance Minister – Cadman Mills
Dr. Cadman Atta Mills, brother to late President
John Evans Atta Mills, has extolled the founder of
Excellence in Broadcasting (EIB) Network , Dr.
Kwabena Duffuor, describing him as “…a
competent Finance Minister.”

According to him, his brother had a very competent
finance minister in the person of Dr. Duffuor
during his reign as Commander in Chief of the
Ghana Armed Forces.

Dr. Atta Mills who served as his brother’s
senior presidential advisor said Wednesday on
Starr Chat that he worked closely with the former
governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and that they
had fierce debate on the government’s economic
policies.

“[But] I have to admit that I never won very
many debate with Kwabena Duffuor,” he told Starr
Chat host Bola Ray, revealing the problem was that
late president Mills “absolutely loved Kwabena
Duffuor.”

The late president, he noted would always tell Dr.
Duffuor that “Cadman disagrees with you but
don’t mind Cadman. He is a stubborn child.”

“But I mean I made my peace with Kwabena
Duffuor,” he said jokingly.

Dr. Atta Mills further revealed that during the
presidency of his late brother, he accused Dr.
Duffuor of being “a little too gentle with him
[late president Mills]” and not always telling
him the “ugly truth…because there were a
number of ugly truths.”

But Dr. Duffuor would tend to “sugar quote” a
few things to the late president who died in 2012.
