The former Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is calling on the President to listen to the call of the Members of Parliament and sack the Finance Minister.
If it will be recalled, some Members of Parliament who are part of the Majority Caucus are calling for the dismissal of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta over the current state of the economy.
However, the former Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen in an interview says Ghanaians are crying in this current state of the economy and therefore he supports the call on the MPs in Parliament to sack the Finance Minister.
He further explained that they know the lessons of history and knows what has happened when issues of political instability drawing closer
Lawyer Obiri therefore calls on the President to listen to the MPs for the reason that the economic hardship goes beyond NPP and NDC.
He further added that, this is a very serious National issue and stability of Western Democracy.
What is happening is very scary because such thing has never happened in Ghana before hence it is a clear sign that the people are hungry, he added.
“We know the lessons of history, Mr. President, in the supreme interest of our tradition, in the supreme interest of multi-party democracy, please listen to the MPs, please listen to the MPs, you are in a continent you don’t take chances when issues of political instability start drawing nearer. We are in Africa; you are in a continent when such things starts happening then it starts bringing big issues but then again God forbid for such thing to happen in the country. If things are going wrong, let’s try and get solutions to it”
“This is not the usual NPP, NDC, this is a very serious National issue, it is the stability of Western Democracy, what is happening is very scary, it has never happened in Ghana, we’ve never seen that before”.
He said “eighty MPs are calling for the dismissal of the finance Minister and you do not want to listen to them?”
“I’m sure there are more MPs who are against the finance Minister but didn’t show their faces”
