According to Dr. Rahseed Draman, Executive Director of the Africa Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), the Minority in Parliament cannot escape responsibility for the economic woes that are directly attributable to Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
He claimed that although the Minority had the chance to vote against the Finance Minister during the appointments committee’s review, some of them actually did.
In response to the economy’s problems, opposition MPs in Parliament have filed a resolution to have the Finance Minister removed from his job. He made these remarks at the same time.
This came after several NPP members staged a press conference in which they urged the President to fire the Finance Minister.
On Monday, November 7, Dr. Dramani said, “Parliament cannot dodge the part of the culpability, especially the Minority,” when discussing this issue on the New Day show with Johnnie Hughes.
“They failed the test of holding the administration accountable by going to the appointment committee to scrutinize, but we found out that some of them voted for them when it came to the vote.
“After realizing their error, they are eating humble pie and demanding that this minister resign.”
He further requested that the President hear the worries and tell the Finance Minister to leave.
“The minister should act honorably, and the president should pay attention to his caucus. The budget will be read. “The cost will be lower if he goes, but there will be an issue if he doesn’t go,” he remarked.
