The Minority in Parliament has demanded the immediate removal of the Central Bank Governor, Dr Ernest Addison.

Engaging the press on Tuesday, Minority Leader, Dr Ato Forson accused Dr Addison of economic mismanagement and financial recklessness.

He blamed the Central Bank Governor for the staggering loss of GHS60.8 billion, equivalent to $6 billion in the financial sector.

He also held Dr Addison responsible for the writing-off of a whooping GHC 48.4 billion, about half of the Ghana Government’s indebtedness to the Central Bank, without parliamentary approval.

According to the Minority Leader, this is illegal and criminal, and the NDC Members of Parliament will not allow this to pass.

In this regard, the Minority wants Dr Addison and his deputies out of office in the next 21 days.

"We call for the resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank and his deputies within 21 days from today," he said.

According to Dr Ato Forson, the Minority MPs are resolved to embark on popular action to occupy the Central Bank and drive out the "team of inept, callous and criminal mismanagers of the finances of this country and save the Bank of Ghana."

"The March to Ensure Accountability will begin in 21 days if the Governor of the Bank of Ghana does not do the needful and pack bag and baggage out of that sacred institution that he has so desecrated.

Dr Ernest Addisson Must Go! There has to be an end to impunity and it is NOW!", he added.
