Abstain From Vote Of Censure Against Ken Ofori Atta- Justin Kodua
Tomorrow is the day scheduled for the vote of censure against Ken Ofori Atta. In a letter, signed by the General Secretary of the Party, Justin Frimpong Kodua, the NPP has directed all its members not to engage in this activity.
Here is the content of the letter.
“The leadership of the New Patriotic Party, following broader consultations and engagements with stakeholders, has resolved and hereby directs all members of the majority caucus in Parliament to abstain from a scheduled vote of censure being sought by the Minority caucus against Ken Ofori Atta.
By this directive, the leadership of the Majority Caucus, especially the Whips, are to ensure that no Member of the Majority Caucus partakes in this exercise by the Minority Group in Parliament.
While the National Executive Body acknowledges the prevailing socio-economic conditions in the country and the need for urgent remedial interventions, it is our utmost position that the demands of the NDC-led minority Caucus are ill-intended and aimed at derailing the government’s efforts at resolving current socio-economic upheavals.
The leadership acknowledges that the Minister of Finance is the leader of the government’s negotiation team with the International Monetary Fund. Considering that negotiation with the IMF is nearly completed, the National Executive body of the Party strongly believes that the removal of the lead person spearheading the negotiation may adversely impact the progress made thus far.
It is worth noting that when similar calls were made for the head of Mr. Seth Tekper, the then Minister for Finance during the socio-economic turbulence under the erstwhile Mahama administration in 2015, the NDC-led majority caucus objected to those calls and rose to the defense of Mr. Terkper, a clear indication that the NDC lacks credibility on this matter.
Accordingly, neither the NPP nor its Members of Parliament will lend support to this mischievous move by the NDC legislators as it is one of their many ill-motivated and self-serving but unpatriotic moves to sabotage the NPP government and frustrate the administration of the country.
The leadership of the NPP wishes to assure our Members of Parliament and the Ghanaian populace there are ongoing internal engagements aimed at addressing legitimate concerns expressed by various stakeholders regarding the management of the economy including calls for the resignation or dismissal of the Finance Minister.”
