Report by Francis MENSAH (Adwenpa-Hene)
Hon. Edmund Kyei, the ruling New Patriotic Party’s first Vice Chairman for Asokwa Constituency, has stated that he does not agree with the minority in Parliament’s demand that the Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Ernest Addison, should quit due to the GHS60.8 billion loss.
On Tuesday, August 8, the NDC threatened to march to the premises of the Bank of Ghana to drag Dr. Addison and his deputies from office if they failed to resign within 21 days, due to what it described as the reckless management of the bank by the officials.
In response, Mr. Edmund Kyei described the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) demand for the resignation of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Ernest Addison, and his deputies as a reflection of the party’s lack of ideas to help stabilise the economy.
He stated that the causes that contributed to the loss were not the governor’s fault.
According to Mr. Edmund, the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is noted for always making propaganda out of everything that happens in this country, and it’s not surprising that they make propaganda out of good social policies like free education, NHI, etc.
In a statement sighted by Daily Searchlight, he added that every sector that has seen success under the NPP has come under severe attack by the NDC, and their current target is Dr. Ernest Addison after seeing the success he has seen as the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
“As part of the means NDC is adopting for elections in 2024 to bring hardships on Ghanaians, they have chosen to attack the NPP success stories and to also paint the face of NPP success stores black to Ghanaians,” he stated.
