The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has revealed that the Minority caucus did not receive any invitation to attend the National Economic Dialogue.
According to him, the leadership of the Minority confirmed to him that no invitation was extended.
“I had earlier stated that the Minority would attend the Dialogue only if this current administration reinstates the public servants whose appointments had been revoked.”
“The President urged us to be patriotic yet did not invite us to the Dialogue, and there’s no doubt that we would have had something to contribute” he said.
Deputy Finance Minister-designate Thomas Nyarko Ampem however is of a different opinion. According to him, the NPP refused to attend the National Economic Dialogue (NED) regardless of being invited, describing the development as concerning.
Speaking in an interview on an Accra based TV station he said, “We need to build consensus and for me, I am sad that our opponents are not actively participating in this”.
According to him, the NPP had every right to participate, as they could potentially govern the country again in the coming years.
Nyarko Ampem stressed the need for continued efforts in implementing the economic reset agenda, calling for collective participation to ensure meaningful outcomes.
“There has to be sustained efforts to make sure that it yields the needed results. That is why President John Dramani Mahama needs that consensus for everyone to be on the same page” he said.
