Censure committee for Ofori-Atta begins sitting today
The eight-member adhoc Committee set up by the Speaker of Parliament to probe allegations levelled against the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta will begin its work today, November 15, 2022.
After hearing from the Minority, the Speaker appointed the committee to look into the claims and submit a report within seven days.
The Minority Leader in his presentation to the House stated that the record inflation rate, the depreciation of the cedi, the excessive borrowing and the reckless spending and the failure to control fuel prices are clear indications that the Finance Minister is not fit to continue in his role.
Dominic Ayine, an MP for Bolgatanga East, and K.T. Hammond, an MP for Adansi-Asokwa, are presiding over the committee.
The other members of the committee are Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings and Bernard Ahiafor from the Minority side, while Patrick Yaw Boamah, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi and Andrew Agyapa Mercer constitute the group from the Majority side on the committee.
