Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, says should President Nana Akufo-Addo refuse to remove the Finance Minister after Parliament censures him, the Minority Caucus will proceed to file a motion for impeachment against the President.<\/p>\n

According to him, his failure to remove the Finance Minister will indicate clearly that perhaps the problem is not the Finance Minister but the President himself.<\/p>\n

He was speaking on the vote of censure expected to take place Thursday, November 10, against the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta in Parliament.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 PM Express, the Asawase MP, who is certain of victory in this vote of censure, noted that the President will have no choice but to heed to the will of Parliament on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you that this \u2018may\u2019 here, every President will know if two-thirds of Parliament says remove this Minister and you choose not to remove the Minister you know what it means? Parliament will not receive that Minister and it could lead to you yourself President going through process to remove you from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if we\u2026let\u2019s pray we get two-thirds and then President Nana Addo says that \u2018o, even though two-thirds of you have said that I should remove him I\u2019m not removing him\u2019 I can assure you, the next day we\u2019ll file another process to remove the President from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means now the problem of the country has moved from the Finance Minister to the President himself. So now we\u2019ll move the heat from the Minister you can\u2019t remove to you yourself and then we\u2019ll start the process. And interestingly it\u2019s the same two-thirds that you\u2019ll need to remove the President. So if he won\u2019t remove the Minister then he will have to be removed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that should the Minority be able to canvass enough votes to censure the Finance Minister, it would mean it will be easy to canvass same amount of votes to remove the President for his obstinacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I can assure you Aisha is that this is a game of politics, if we can get two-thirds to remove the Minister for Nana Addo, you can be rest assured that that same two-thirds will be ready to remove the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if that two-thirds will not remove the President, they will not remove his Minister especially as he has publicly said he\u2019s supporting him, he\u2019s giving him all the praises and what have you, if we succeed by the grace of God and we get the two-thirds and the President doesn\u2019t act, that two-thirds will remove the President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
