Minority leader in parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin is calling on newly appointed BoG CEO, Dr. Johnson Asiamiah to refrain from all official duties until his nomination is approved by the council of state.
In a letter addressed to the president, John Dramani Mahama, the minority leader has indicated that Mr. Asiamiah’s move “raises serious procedural and constitutional concerns” since his appointment has not been approved by the council of state.
“Furthermore, should the Council of State, upon its constitution, decide against approving Dr.
Asiamah’s nomination, what measures will be taken to address the actions he has already undertaken in his assumed capacity?” the minority leader questioned.
Conclusively, he is asking that the president asks Dr. Asiamiah to halt performing official duties at the Bank of Ghana until he is approved by the Council of State.
