Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will appear before Parliament on Thursday, June 16, to answer some 16 questions tabled for him by MPs.
Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta is expected to answer questions on the economy, payment of funds to the National Cathedral Project and the government’s expenditure of COVID-19 funds, which has become dominant in public discussions in recent times.
Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin said on the floor of the House that the Minister’s appearance on Thursday will put all matters which have been of concern to legislators, especially on the minority side, to rest.
Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta had been criticised severally by members of the minority over his failure to appear in Parliament when summoned to come and answer urgent questions filed by legislators.
In March 2022, the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, called for definite instructions to the Minister of Finance over his failure to appear before Parliament to answer questions.
The Minister had been programmed to answer about ten questions on different subject matters at the time but did not show up to answer any of them.
