JUST IN:Subin MP Sends Strong Message To Akuffo Addo After IMF Deal; Shocking Details Dropped-CHECK.
Member of Parliament for Subin constituency, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has said that following the closure of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal, the New Patriotic Party MPs who called for the dismissal of the Finance Minister in 2022 are waiting to hear from President Akufo-Addo on the way forward.
Speaking on Top Story, Mr Antwi said that only the President has the executive powers to dismiss Mr Ken Ofori-Atta and thus their job as MPs was to expose the shortcomings of the minister and why he should not occupy his office.
“So far as we are concerned, we have demonstrated to the entire country, and the whole world that this is our decision or difficulty with the continued stay of Ken Ofori-Atta.
We are waiting for the Majority Leader to come either convene a meeting or for the president to convene a meeting with the majority caucus and tell us the way forward,” the Subin MP noted.
Mr Antwi added that “It is now up to the President to say, ‘look, based on what he has done, I am begging of you to let him continue or give me a few months and I will come back to you.’ I do not have the power to remove Ken, my job is to expose the failings, I have done that.”JoyNews/AdomNews · We’re waiting on President to convene a meeting – Subin MP on dismissal of Ofori Atta
