The course of the NDC is premised on falsehood, propaganda and reasons which are not justifiable. Their position might look like ours, but ours is different,\u201d Ayew Afriyie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two-thirds of Parliament will have to vote in favour of the censure for the Finance Minister to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs accuse the Finance Minister of acting outside the powers of the office and largely blame him for the country\u2019s current economic woes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This motion, if passed, will compel President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to fire his treasury chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Minority Chief Whip Ahmed Ibrahim in an earlier interview with Citi News said his side has engaged with a section of the Majority caucus, and they are ready for the motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are still talking to the group of 95. Most of them know that they have their integrity to protect. The best way to redeem the image of Parliament is to make sure that they vote, and they walk their talk on Thursday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
