Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Suame MP and Majority Leader, has explained portions of a statement he signed, in which President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo pleaded with some Majority MPs to allow Ken Ofori-Atta conclude Ghana's negotiations with the IMF and present the 2023 budget. The appeal came after the majority MPs organised a press conference to demand the finance minister's removal from office.
