He may be soft-spoken, but that is not a problem when one is talking to a crowd with the proper equipment. I listened to him during the vetting. He speaks very well. Give him a proper microphone and everything will be fine!

Academics should not be the only Qualification for holding public office...)Oration and public speaking skills are also part of it...You are holding a very sensitive office of Finance, meaning the entire economy rests on your shoulders, So weak personalities cannot be tolerated Period...Your voice says a lot about who you are...This Ken Ofori Atta is Low energy, weak and introverted person who should not be entrusted with our finances...he can obviously be manipulated to sign stuffs he doesn't want to, exactly what happened with him being a YoYo to collect loan for Npp and couldn't pay.. Weak people are to Stay away from politics...Its has nothing to do with voice ...

People are so Quick to judge. Can you even start a bank like Databank? You are here criticizing someone who doesn't even need your criticism.
Is being a finance minister a public speaking contest? This is why Africa doesn't go on. Cheap talk no action. People work their way up just by using loud controlling voices with no good context . The ones who talk loudly are those who can steal government money through false assertiveness. They are afraid that Ken will never allow that and so they want him out. Good thing Nana chose him.
We need brains who can talk economic sense not loud-mouths who only care about politicising their views and attracting attention.
The ones who are saying he is too soft are ignorant. How do you think he built his bank ? Didn't he talk with investors, etc ?
Think again before you criticize
