Suspend your regional booing tours and sack Ken Ofori-Atta — Ablakwa tells Nana Addo

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to immediately dissolve the Economic Management Team (EMT) and sack the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta following the continuous depreciation of the Ghana Cedi against the major trading currencies.

He also called on the President to suspend the regional tours he is embarking on currently and convene a non-partisan emergency economic rescue forum to harvest fresh ideas on how to resolve the economic challenges.

According to the NDC MP in a Twitter post, the total crash of the cedi must be seen as a major national security threat.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is currently on a three-day official working tour of the Eastern Region.
