“Why should we trust his decision in IMF Negotiations? Suhuyini reaction after President Akufo-Addo requested for more…

Alhassan Suhuyini, Member of Parliament for Tamale North is alleging that President Akufo-Addo’s dialogues with the Majority Caucus is to buy the Finance Minister time to cover up some alleged financial crimes. Mr. Suhuyini said the majority members of Parliament calling for Ken Ofori-Atta’s sacking must be vigilant and not allow President Akufo-Addo deceive them to buy time for his cousin. He spoke on Good Morning Ghana. Mr. Suhuyini sighted conflict of interest allegations against the Finance Minister, as Un-constitutional withdrawals from the Consolidated Fund, illegal payment of oil revenues into offshore accounts, in flagrant violation of Article 176 of the 1992 Constitution among others. “If we are here because he took bad decisions to bring us here, why should we trust his decision in IMF Negotiations? You should not be comfortable to allow him lead us into IMF.” He said. “You should not be giving him time to take the skeletons out of the cupboard… I know my colleagues on the majority side have endured him for too long but they must act on principle and not waiver. There are concerns within their party so they must fight Ken Ofori-Atta based on principles.” The Tamale North MP said. “If you’re willing to give him time to take us through IMF when all his previous decisions are suspect, then may be you are giving him time to cover up” he kept insisting.“The majority must stay committed to rescuing this country. They must support the mo-tion we in the majority have filed to censure the Finance Minister” he added. Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on 0256336062 or Email:Apexnewsgh

Don’t disenfranchise prospective voters under the guise of New C.I. – NDC to EC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned the Electoral Commission to pull the brakes on implementing the Ghana Card as the sole document for the registration and acquisition of a voter’s ID card. Addressing a press conference today, the National Chairman of the party, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo said the elimination of the use of passports and the guarantor system is unconstitutional. He said if the C.I. is passed in its current form it will disenfranchise prospective voters who for no fault of theirs are unable to obtain the national ID card issued by the NIA. The largest opposition party, therefore, threatened to employ all legitimate means including mass action to block the move should the EC refuse to heed the warning.”We will mobilize the broad masses of Ghanaians to wage a sustained and unrelenting campaign to prevent any attempt by the EC to strip large sections of the population of their right to vote. “The Ghana card is a new feature of our national life and cannot immediately become the only means to identify a Ghanaian only because it plays into the hands of the NPP whose members constitute the leadership of both the National Identification Authority and the EC.”
