Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi has blamed Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta for calls for his removal from office.
Mr. Boakye said some inconsistent pronouncements made by Mr. Ofori-Atta were largely the cause of the uproar.
Speaking on Face to Face on Citi TV, the Subin lawmaker said “pronouncements of Ofori-Atta on this IMF debacle have not helped him. Every politician must live or die by his word and that is my belief. Once you say something, you must be committed because you don’t have the luxury of trial and error.”
Mr. Boakye said the Finance Minister could not stick to his assurances which has resulted in the economic meltdown that the country finds itself
“To even make matters worse, he openly told the whole nation that we are a proud nation and have the resources and the capacity and that we will not go to the IMF,” Mr. Boakye added.
