Bank of Ghana (BoG) governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, has denied describing minority Members of Parliament (MPs) as “hooligans” during the #OccupyBoG demonstration in October of last year.
Dr. Addison explained that the description that was first published came from a foreign media outlet that first covered the subject, not from him.
Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in Parliament on Monday, April 8, 2024, Dr. Ernest Addison insisted that t he never uttered the derogatory against NDC MPs adding that the term “hooliganism” was an interpretation by the media house and not an accurate representation of his words.
“This is what I am coming to say: those who know me and know my character… you have not heard a single word of a recorded message with me describing parliamentarians in that manner. This was some foreign journalist’s description of the conversation we had, and I disowned it,” he said .
