Resign within 21 days or face our wrath– NDC to BoG Governor, deputies

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for the resignation of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Ernest Addison and his deputies.

The NDC has threatened to march to the premises of BoG to drag Dr. Addison and his deputies from office if they fail to resign within 21 days.

This follows the Bank of Ghana’s staggering loss of GH¢60.8 billion within the 2022 fiscal year.

Addressing journalists under the NDC’s Moment of Truth series on Tuesday, August 8, the Minority Leader, Ato Forson accused the Governor of recklessness resulting in an IMF bailout.

“In this regard, we call for the resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank and his deputies within 21 days from today. We are resolved to embark on popular action to occupy the Central Bank and drive out the team of inept, callous, and criminal mismanagers of the finances of this country and save the Bank of Ghana. The March to Ensure Accountability will begin in 21 days if the Governor of the Bank of Ghana does not do the needful and pack bag and baggage out of that sacred institution that he has so desecrated. Dr Ernest Addison must go, there has to be an end to impunity and it is now.

“This means the recklessness and mismanagement of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana have cost the nation twice what we are struggling and sacrificing to receive from the IMF amid major conditionalities,” the minority leader lamented.
