The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that the Business Committee of Parliament is helping the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta not to appear before the House to account for President Akufo-Addo’s use of private jet for his recent trips to Europe and South Africa.
According to the law maker in a letter written to parliamen, he has threatened to initiate a vote of censure against the Minister if he continues to delay in coming before the House to render accounts.
On the day Ken Ofori-Atta was expected to answer his part of the question, Ablakwa was informed that the Minister had requested for more time to furnish the House on the cost of President Akufo-Addo’s recent trips.
The question was subsequently taken off the Business Statement of Parliament, although the Minister had about two weeks earlier to prepare for the response.
