Following calls for his dismissal, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, a former finance minister, wants Ken Ofori-Atta, the current finance minister, to quit.

According to him, the Minister is facing a strong wave of public outrage and needs to stand down right away so that someone else can take over.

“It’s unfortunate, but I don’t understand why he should have that position given that he has been rejected by both sides, the majority and the minority.
When your own people are demanding your resignation as a minister, there is no value in continuing in that position.
The former governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) indicated on Ghana Kasa on Kasapa 102.5 FM that quitting now would be the wisest course of action for him.

Parliament will on Thursday, November 10, 2022, begin the debate on the motion of censure filed by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, for the removal of the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.

Presenting the Business Statement for the week on the floor of Parliament last Friday, the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said Ofori-Atta’s removal remained a key feature for the week.

Reports say the whole NPP caucus in parliament now supports calls for the Finance Minister to resign or be sacked.

“Even though the issue started with a group of 80-plus, the caucus meeting aligned with the decision of that group.”

“So it is no longer the cause of the 80-plus group. It is the agenda for the entire caucus,” Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu told journalists in Parliament.
