First deputy Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament for Bekwai, says he is only interested in what protects the presidency with regards to being for or against the stepping down of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
In an interview with Kwaku Dawuro on Movement In The Morning on Movement TV/ Wontumi radio, Honorable Joseph stated that he does not stand with or against the 98 MPs who are in support of the Finance Minister resigning from his position, due to the mismanagement of the country’s finances leading to economic hardship.
He said ”What we’ve told the President which I was included was that we have taken heed of what he said. I’ve heard some people say they are not support, but i believe that position has not been adopted by the caucus but rather a group of people.”
He added that ”I don’t have to decide. I am only in support and up for anything that protects the presidency. If the President has asked that he completes his negotiations and allow him to read his budget which we’ve agreed, it would not limit or decrease the power of the President.”
