Prince Owusu Ansah, a political analyst, has urged Ghanaians to hold President Akufo-Addo accountable for Kem Ofori-refusal Atta's to step down as minister of finance.
He said during an interview with Kwabena Agyapong on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that the Minister had formally submitted a letter of resignation to the president.
But the president turned down his letter of resignation.
He claimed that despite the president receiving two letters from the minister, he had asked the minister to wait.
“You can take it from me, the Finance Minister wrote to the President informing him of his intention to resign,” he said. However, the resignation was rejected by the President. He has done this twice”.
He was responding to the investigation of the motion of censure filed against the Minister by the ad hoc committee.
He slammed the committee, calling it partisan and accusing it of failing to properly investigate the minister.
He claimed that the committee’s majority tried to defend the Minister and that the minority had their own agenda.
He emphasized that the committee’s work would be useless.
The strategist said the committee failed to ask critical questions and allowed him to have an easy ride because of the questions they asked.
Meanwhile, he has revealed that the Trades Minister and Agriculture Minister, Alan Kyeremanten and Akoto Afriyie, have both written to the President requesting permission to resign, but he has refused.
