"If we change the people and we don't challenge the policies, we don't change the process, if we don't change the thinking, nothing will change. I wish that those backbenchers had not just demanded somebody be changed but some people completely removed.
"It is not handing over from Ofori-Atta or Charles Adu Boahen to another person who will do the same thing," he added.
His reactions come after over eighty (80) New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament called for the sack of the Finance Minister.
But President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said terminating the appointment of Ofori-Atta will disrupt the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In a crunch meeting with the lawmakers at the Jubilee House, Nana Addo argued that the deal is near completion therefore the MPs should wait a little longer.
