You are witnessing in Ghana the epileptic fall of the Cedi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vote of censure against the&nbsp;Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta&nbsp;is expected to take place today Thursday November 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Iddrisu explained that the Minority will need the support of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament to achieve their desire to remove the Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tamale South lawmaker said any move by the NPP lawmakers to rescind their quest to get Mr Ofori-Atta removed will hurt Ghana\u2019s democracy by weakening the oversight role of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, he said, the&nbsp;National Democratic Congress&nbsp;Lawmakers do not have the required number, two thirds, to push their motion through hence, will need the support of the NPP MPs who earlier called for the sacking of Mr Ofori-Atta, to achieve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m determined to move the motion of censure,\u201d he said while speaking at the political dialogue series organized by Media General on Wednesday November 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added \u201cAdmittedly, the Minority MPs, standing alone, may not achieve the two thirds number and so when the Majority said they will support us, it was comforting. If they chicken out, it will weaken Parliament, it will weaken oversight role of Parliament and the minister will run riot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added \u201cAnywhere in the world, Mr Ofori-Atta should have been gone by now, taking full responsibility for what has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Speaker admitted the motion which was filed by Asawase Member of Parliament Muntaka Mubarak and dated October 24, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opposition lawmakers believe the Finance Minister has failed in managing the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>READ ALSO:&nbsp;&nbsp;Jane breaks silence on \u2018Montie 3\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In tweet, North Tongu Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said \u201d In compliance with Article 82 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the NDC Caucus in Parliament has successfully filed a motion for his immediate removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Haruna Iddrisu earlier said in Parliament after the Speaker\u2019s ruling was challenged by Deputy Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin that \u201cThe Speaker has ruled, and we must show respect to the Speaker. If there are any disagreements with the ruling, they know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrdinarily, any civilized democracy in the world, you don\u2019t even need a motion for the Minister of Finance to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe, upon self-appraisal of where he has led the country and economy to, in all conscience, will bow out and save the nation. So, we have brought a competent motion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: 3news.com|Ghana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
