Social Commentator and Editor of the National Forum newspaper, James Kwabena Bomfeh, popularly known as Kabila has revealed the motive behind censure motion file against the finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
He said, the real target of the minority is the president, Nana Akufo-Addo and not the embattled minister as they sought to claim.
According to the former General Secretary of the Convention people’s party, the Minority in parliament ploy is to embarrass the president and the government.
He has therefore described the motion as bogus, as the minority’s aim is to make the g government unpopular.
“The ongoing motion of censure is to cause embarrassment to President Akufo-Addo, and his cabinet. The Minority is just trying to bring the President and his entire Cabinet down. The President is the target and not Ken Ofori-Atta. Any problem you have with the budget is an attempt on the President and his cabinet… If you want to impeach the President, just be bold and stop these things. I don’t know why the President has allowed the Minority to bring the government’s entire achievements to question. Why allow it?” Kabila asked on Peace FM’s morning show, Kokrokoo on Wednesday.
He wondered why the President is dragging his feet in letting go of the Finance Minister, whom he claimed is the weakest link in his Cabinet.
“We cannot reduce issues of the country to just the Finance Minister, and bogus claims by the Minority. Mr. President, why go through this embarrassment because of this weakest link of your Cabinet,” he said.
Mr. Ofori -Atta is facing an ad-hoc committee following a motion of censure.
He is accused of gross mismanagement of the economy, conflict of interest among others.
Ofori-Atta is expected to respond to the claims the Minority made against him on Friday.
