A former Power Minister And Pru East MP, Kwabena Donkor, is asking the Finance Minister to resign immediately.
According to him, Ken Ofori-Atta’s handling of Ghana’s economy is abysmal, and does not deserve to remain in office as the Minister in the wake of the country’s financial crisis.
The Pru West MP resigned back in 2015 due to his administration’s failure to end load shedding.
On the back of this, he wants Mr. Ofori-Atta to emulate this gesture.
“The Minister should resign as a matter of honor,” he said on Thursday.
Already, there is pressure mounting on Ken Ofori-Atta to resign following Ghana’s decision to seek an IMF bailout.
According to Kwabena Donkor, it is clear the President may not be able to sack Ken Ofori-Atta because of political reasons.
He said this in a press conference with the Parliamentary press corps
He urged the Minister to do the honorable thing and step aside to free the hands of the President.
Kwabena Donkor further threatened that Parliament would be forced to pass a motion of censure against Ken Ofori-Atta to remove him if he does not pay heed.
He is also confident the Majority side will support them in such a move.
