The Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, says former President John Mahama’s address on the economy is an act of bad faith.
Speaking to Citi News, Mr. Afenyo-Markin said the former President was trying to take advantage of Ghana’s struggles.
“The entire speech was for political convenience,” the Deputy Majority Leaders said.
“He is not making these calls in good faith. He is making these calls in an opportunistic context as though he is an alternative.”
Also speaking to Citi News, the Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyepong said the call for the dismissal of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta, by John Mahama is unfair.
Though the former President said the Finance Minister position was currently untenable, Mr. Agyepong asked that did Mr. Mahama fire his Finance Minister when economic challenges forced Ghana to the IMF under his administration.
President Mahama was in the vehicle when he took us to the IMF with his Finance Minister. Did he ever fire any Finance Minister?”
