NPP MPs want Ken Ofori-Attah, deputy sacked or they boycott 2023 budget statement

In the event that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo does not oust the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry Charles Adu Boahen, some members of the Majority caucus in Parliament have threatened to boycott the presentation and discussion of the 2023 budget statement.

According to the NPP MPs, the two individuals shouldn’t be in government given the country’s current economic position, so the President should ask them to step down.

On Tuesday, October 25, a legislator from Asante Akyem North named Andy Appiah Kubi spoke at a news conference in Parliament.

He said, “We are unhappy with the developments in the country, we consulted our constituents who also expressed the same sentients.

“We want the President to remove Ken Ofori and Chares Adu Boahen.”

“We are by this medium communicating our strong desire that the President changes the Minister of Finance and the Minister of State in the Finance Ministry without further delay.”

“We want to serve notice, and notice is hereby served that until such persons as aforementioned are made to resign or removed from office, we members of the Majority Caucus here in Parliament will not participate in any business of Government by or, for the president by any other Minster.”

“We hope that those of us in the back bench and members of the Majority caucus will abide by this prayer.”
