A senior lecturer/Senior Research fellow of the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) Dr. Smart Sarpong has stated that the International Monitory Fund (IMF) should hold meetings that will consider Proposals from banks and stakeholders.
Speaking in an interview on Movement in the morning show on Movement TV and Wontumi Radio Mr. Sarpong noted that it looks as though the proposals have been presented without their input.
According to him, the finance minister cannot force people to accept his proposal alone- stressing that but we are guided by law as a republic.
He furthered that “the attorney general has made it clear that this is not something that can be issued under an executive instrument or under a state of emergency but would have to go through series of consultation and making sure that people understand what they are signing up to”.
“We are very active members of the IMF, and they would not do anything that would go against the wish of the venerable in the society”, he stated.
