A communications team member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Amaning has asserted that the minority in parliament has an agenda of ensuring that Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon Alban Sumana Bagbin is made President before 2024.
According to him, it’s for this reason that the minority in Parliament initiated calls for the head of finance minister. He notes that they have an agenda beyond the sacking of finance Minister.
“How do you sacrifice someone who goes to search for fund to run the country. If you want to sack him, then how about those who are misappropriating public fund? For example, if the finance minister has allocated 1million to the agriculture ministry and they are not able to spend it wisely, why do you hold the finance minister responsible?
He’s done what is expected of him”, he explained to Kwaku Dawuro on Movement in the morning show on Wontumi Radio/Movement TV.
Moreover, the government cannot be blamed for the global crisis. But if we allow the NDC to dictate for us, then after sacking the finance minister, they will push for the sacking of the President too. They want Alban Bagbin to rule as President before 2024 ends. So, it’s an agenda. When they are done with the finance minister, then they continue with the President and then the Vice President. They can do that within 6 months because it’s not difficult at all”, he added.
He concluded by saying that one thing every Ghanaians should know is that the minority in Parliament are all NDC members and will do things in the interest of the party.
