The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has announced in Parliament that the former Chairman of the Finance Committee, Kwaku Kwarteng, has been reassigned to the position of Chairperson of the Economy Committee.
This strategic move, according to Afenyo-Markin, is intended to prepare the majority for the 2024 elections and to challenge the minority’s ranking member of the Finance Committee, Isaac Adongo.
Speaking in Parliament, Afenyo-Markin stated, “We, the majority, have a new spokesperson on the economy; you (the minority) have none. We have a new spokesperson, and very soon, we are going to unveil him: Kwaku Kwarteng.
“We have a Finance Committee and the Economy Committee. I am letting them know some of the proactive steps we are taking on this side of the house to throw a serious challenge. It is not just about governance. The Economy Committee is going to have a new leader, and he is going to be the most important person on the committee to challenge you, Isaac Adongo. That is why we are now going to make Kwaku Kwarteng the chair of the Economy Committee to face you.”
