Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim, deputy Minority Whip of Parliament, has alleged that Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta stopped answering calls from the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
According to him, the Finance Minister was to avail himself to parliament for further discussions in parliament on the 2022 budget.
Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ programme, he explained that the minority prior to their act on Friday had through diverse effort sort to have the problems of the 2022 budget rectified but defiant Ken Ofori-Atta did not avail himself to the House.
” Before the minority’s act last Friday, I remember very well how the Speaker called the Finance Minister on different occasions on phone just to pass some information to him for certain aspects of the budget to be corrected but Mr Ken Ofori-Atta refused to answer those calls.
“We are trying to be hard-hearted but we want the government to feel and understand the hardships Ghanaians are going through in the hands of the NPP Government,” the Banda MP told host Kwame Nkrumah.
