The Minority Caucus in Parliament has called on the government to dissolve its economic management team for failing to address the current economic challenges facing the country.
The Ranking Member on Mines and Energy, John Jinapor, said the team has failed to serve its purpose of ensuring an improvement in the living conditions of Ghanaians.
Speaking to the media at Parliament, Hon. Jinapor wondered why the team had not devised measures to tackle inflation and stop the depreciation of the cedi against major trading currencies.
He thus emphasized the need for the team to be dissolved to save taxpayers’ money.
“They cannot spend the taxpayer’s money on meetings and at the end of the day, it even leads to more hardship. Then they better save that money.
“That is why we are calling on the government to dissolve the economic management team whose performance has been woefully inadequate and abysmal. The performance of the economic management team is nothing to write home about, and we hold the view that it should be dissolved,” he said.
