The Minority in Parliament has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo over the appointment of Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo, the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for Manso Nkwanta, as the Managing Director of the NIB.
The Minority lamented that the president and his party have destroyed the governance and structures of Ghana and are now turning our banks into the hubs of party footsoldiers.
Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson said the situation is exacerbated by the bank’s Deputy Managing Director, who was also a politically active individual who previously contested the Fomena Member of Parliament seat.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, he said “President Akufo-Addo is destroying the governance of our country. In the sense that even banks, a typical example like the NIB has been turned into a hub where they harbour foot soldiers of the party. You have a bank that is struggling, a bank that is almost collapsed, a bank that we know that the governance structure regime is extremely poor but we all want to nurture the bank because obviously it is a state bank.”
This president in spite of all the problems of the NIB has decided to appoint a PC, someone who is going to contest the election in six months as the MD of the state bank, NIB. And I am surprised at the governor, Governor Addison the printer also had the temerity to approve such a person to become the MD of the NIB,” he said.
He continued: “The deputy of the same politically exposed person who is now the MD of the NIB is also another politically exposed person,” he added.
“We want to use this Opportunity to urge the Vice Presidents to quit his off beat dancing on the campaign trill and focus on the dancing cedis” he noted.
