Majority Caucus in Parliament demands the immediate removal of Ken Ofori-Atta as Finance Minister.
The over eighty [80] New Patriotic Party’s MPs also want President to sack the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Dr Charles Adu Boahen.
According to them, this is due to the current state of the country’s economy. The MPs made this known to the media in a presser.
They noted that failure to sack the the two Ministers will make them not participate in any government business and budget hearing.
The MPs say their sentiments reflect the position of the NPP caucus in the House.
One of the key cards on the table for these majority MPs is the approval of the 2023 budget which will be pivotal to expenditure, especially at a time when government finances are in limbo.
“If our request is not responded to positively, we will not be present for the budget hearing, neither will we participate in the debate,” Mr Appiah-Kubi indicated.
The development comes amid a worsening economic downturn in the country as the Ministry looks to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a crucial bailout.
