The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has responded to calls for Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to be sacked.
The response comes after some Parliamentarians (MP) in the Majority caucus requested that President Akufo-Addo removes his Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from duty following his abysmal performance.
Speaking in a press conference on Tuesday, leader of the MPs, Andy Appiah-Kubi stated that the call is a reflection of the views of the NPP caucus in parliament but the presidency has failed to act despite being notified.
“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 [or] by any other minister.” .”
Responding to the above, a statement from the NPP headquarters said “the leadership of the party is currently engaging government as well as the Parliamentary group…”
The statement signed by Chairman of the NPP, Stephen Ayesu Ntim urged all stakeholders to remain calm as they seek amicable solutions to the impasse.
According to Mr. Ntim, the NPP is committed to engage government on issues of utmost interest to the party, government and the citizens.
