Some members of the Majority Caucus in Parliament have called for the dismissal of Finance Minister, Mr. Ken Ofori Atta, with immediate effect.
The majority group, led by the Member of Parliament for Asante Akim- North, Andy Appiah Kubi, demanded the removal of the Finance Minister from office at a press conference in Parliament Yesterday.
According to them, the decision is based on issues of lack of confidence and non-performance on the part of Minister Ofori Atta.
Aside from the Finance Minister, the NPP MPs have also called for the removal of the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Dr Charles Adu Boahen.
This was when Parliament reconvened this morning.
The group says if government fails to head its demands, it will boycott the 2023 budget presentation and debate. Again, the majority group says it will not participate in any government business on the floor of Parliament if Mr Ofori Atta is not removed.
The NPP MPs said they had already made their demand through the Majority leadership but to no avail hence their latest stance.
More Soon.
