We will not participate in deliberations too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that the only way the President will get them to participate in the budget presentation and appropriation is if someone else from government is appointed to present the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not saying we won\u2019t do President\u2019s business. We\u2019re saying we won\u2019t do President\u2019s business through Ofori-Atta. So if anybody else comes with President\u2019s business, we\u2019ll participate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Andy Appiah-Kubi also told host, Evans Mensah that the new resolution is the outcome of a meeting held on Tuesday, November 15, which was attended by 98 NPP MPs to reconsider their collective position after they agreed to relax their initial stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Finance Minister is currently facing a vote of censure from the Minority side of Parliament and the NPP MPs are convinced it is time for him to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
