The Minority in Parliament have been alleging wrongdoing on the part of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, in the recent issuance of a $2.5bn domestic bond issued by the Government of Ghana and purchased by the Franklin Templeton (FT) group.
One of the FT directors has ties to the finance minister, and that, the Minority claims, raises issues over conflict of interest.
The minority NDC in Parliament had the time of their life hooting, hollering and generally causing commotion during the President’s State of the Nation Address delivered to the August house Tuesday, February 21.
Nana Akufo-Addo delivered a grim, yet realistic assessment of the nation’s economy, with a dash of hope towards the end of his message – but the minority were not happy at all.
