Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has been asked to resign over allegations of conflict of interest in the issuance of the $2.25bn bond.
The NDC Minority MPs in Parliament have found him guilty by for issuing and closing within a day, a bond which was supposed to last for a minimum of three days.
Investigations by the Minority prove that, Mr Trevor G. Trefgarne, who is a director at Franklyn Templeton, the institution that bought 95 per cent of the bond, also happens to be a Director at Enterprise Group Limited which is a company that is co-founded by Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to the Minority, this raises issues of transparency, conflict of interest, and suspicion, thus the call for Mr. Ofori-Atta’s resignation.
However, this call by the Minority has been rubbished by some Ghanaians.
According to some interviewees who have been speaking to www.ghanaweb.com on the issue, the Finance Minister did nothing wrong in issuing the bond to whoever or any company who was ready to buy.
They said it was a waste of time and unnecessary for the Finance Minister to resign from his post.
