The minority in Parliament's resolution to reprimand Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has been criticised by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) as being pointless.

The NPP claims that the Minority's actions on the floor of Parliament on December 7, 2022, were a result of the NDC's local politics.

This depiction of the Minority's conduct was made by Mr. Richard Ahiagbah, the NPP's director of communications, during a Saturday news analysis segment of Joy FM's News File programme in Accra.

He noted that the NDC‘s action was a needless political exercise.

He said the NDC’s claims against the finance minister were not legitimate but just out of pure politicking.

According to him, the Majority was right in walking out of the process to vote on the censure motion.

He commended the Majority for their boycott of the vote on the censure motion by the Minority.

This, he said, was because the president has had an agreement with the Majority for the finance minister to present the budget, go through the appropriations and negotiate with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout.

He explained with these agreements in mind, the president was not going to sack the finance minister.

The president per the constitution has the power to let a minister who has been censured stay or go, he also noted.

He said the NDC was just on a wild goose chase, adding that the NDC reduced the motion to personality wrangling.

He again assured that the president was committed to solving the economic woes of the country.

He called on the NDC to apologise to the vast majority of Ghanaians for taking them through a needless exercise
