Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the leader of the majority party in parliament, has declared that the full majority caucus must vote to remove Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
In 2022, a number of NPP lawmakers petitioned the president to fire the finance minister due to what they claimed was poor economic management.
After successfully negotiating the $3 billion deal with the International Monetary Fund, the Suame MP responded to the #Kenmustgo campaign by stating that the destiny of the Finance Minister will rely on the collective decision of the NPP caucus and a future conversation with the President.
“As for the state of the #Kenmustgo uprising, that one will have to be determined by the caucus. Let’s leave it to what determination the caucus will come up with. As you rightly said, it started by a few people and became the position of the entire caucus. The entire caucus may have to engage and know the way forward.
He added, “It’s only a madman who doesn’t change his mind. We will engage the entire caucus and also maybe meet President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo if it becomes necessary. It’s good to let sleeping dogs lie sometimes.
“But we should also consider. The President said let him conclude our engagement with the IMF, have we finished our engagement with IMF? That is another question, so we are where we are”. He said.
