Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, Collins Adomako-Mensah says calls from some MPP MPs demanding the resignation of Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta is "nothing personal" "We don't have anything against him... whenever there's a change, a new person comes with new ideas, fresh breath and new energy and so it's nothing personal against the minister. We're in crisis and we believe a new person at the helm of the Finance Ministry can bring new breath, fresh ideas". "I think he's done his best under the circumstances; however, there's a general call for him to step aside for a new person," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' A few days ago, over 90 NPP MPs demanded the removal of Ofori-Atta as Finance Minister and Charles Adu Boahene as Minister of State at the Finance Ministry. In response to these calls from his own party MPs, President Akufo-Addo urged them to hold on till the Finance Minister concludes negotiations with the IMF and presentation of the 2023 budget statement.
