Mahama Ayariga, the member of parliament for Bawku Central, said the investigation into the $250 million earmarked for the Bank of Ghana’s new headquarters would continue.
The MP contends that the governor’s answer, provided by Dr. Ernest Addison, simply makes matters worse and necessitates more research.
Dr. Ernest Addison refuted Monday’s charges that the Central Bank broke procurement regulations in order to build the structure.
However, the Bawku Central MP maintained in an interview with Citi News that the governor must step down and stressed that the Minority will take whatever measures are necessary to remove the governor of the Central Bank and his appointees.
“This is the most ridiculous and palpably unacceptable and laughable explanation that a governor can give for spending such an amount of money when your country is facing the kind of challenges that we are facing today.”
“Anytime you have a problem with your structure, just come to Parliament, and we will review your law and give you whatever structure you need to function. So I disagree with everything he [Dr. Ernest Addison] has said. We are still going to hold him accountable and demand that he must resign, and so we are still going to go out there and demonstrate until he leaves office.”
