In a press conference addressed by the Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the party said the governors should resign within 21 days.

“In this regard, we call for the resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank and his deputies within 21 days from today. We are resolved to embark on popular action to occupy the Central Bank and drive out the team of inept, callous and criminal mismanagers of the finances of this country and save the Bank of Ghana. The March to Ensure Accountability will begin in 21 days if the Governor of the Bank of Ghana does not do the needful and pack bag and baggage out of that sacred institution that he has so desecrated. Dr Ernest Addisson Must Go! There has to be an end to impunity and it is NOW!”

“This means the recklessness and mismanagement of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana has cost the nation twice what we are struggling and sacrificing to receive from the IMF amid major conditionalities”.

According to the party, the BoG has become a crime scene, with its managers treading on a dangerous trajectory.

The party has threatened to march to the premises of BoG to drag Dr Addison and his deputies from office if they fail to resign within 21 days.

The Bank of Ghana recorded a staggering loss of GH¢60.8 billion within the 2022 fiscal year.
