Some members of the ruling party in parliament have declared they will boycott any government transactions carried out by Ken Ofori-Atta.

They declared that they wanted the finance minister fired.

Andy Appiah-Kubi, a member of parliament for Asante Akyem North and spokesperson for the group of MPs calling for the dismissal of Ofori-Atta, declared that they would boycott the November 24 budget presentation if the Finance Minister is not dismissed.

He declared: "We've returned to (our request that the President fire him), therefore should the budget be submitted with the Finance Minister's seal, we won't take part because, in our opinion, we're never going to do business with him."

“And if we’re not going to do business with him, he does not participate in any process from the Presidency to the House. We will not participate in deliberations too,” he is quoted by myjoyonline.com.

He added that the MPs would do business with anyone else apart from Ofori-Atta.

“We’re not saying we won’t do President’s business. We’re saying we won’t do President’s business through Ofori-Atta. So if anybody else comes with President’s business, we’ll participate,” he said.

Calls for the removal of the Finance Minister have intensified as the ad-hoc committee sat yesterday November 15 to probe Ofori-Atta.

After hours of debate, the Finance Minister is set to report back to the committee on Friday.
