Former Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak has admonished leadership of the NDC caucus in Parliament over their approval of Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to him, Mr Ofori-Atta’s approval is not in the best interest of the party foot soldier because of the mismanagement of the economy for the last four years.
To him, the NDC leadership explanation that his approval is for him to face the brunt of his mismanagement goes against the foot soldier who may die of hunger even before 2024 to vote.
“Arguing that Ken Ofori Atta was the one who’s run the economy to the ground and therefore should be made to face the brunt of his mismanagement does not work in the best interest of the NDC foot soldier or the NPP foot soldier. Because they may not live until 2024 to vote, people may die of hunger.
“Is it the argument that in 2024 we would say the NPP has mismanaged the economy and so they should continue? It‘s a very flawed argument and that is why I am not buying it, and that is why the rank and file of the party is not buying the kind of argument that has been espoused by the leadership,” he stated.
He called for an overhaul of the NDC leadership in Parliament.
“Clearly this is not appropriate and as far as I am concerned there is a leadership crisis. As far as I am concerned the caucus in Parliament has not demonstrated leadership especially in the approval of Ken Ofori-Atta and for which reason, I am of the opinion that the current crop of leadership has lost steam……I am of the view that there has to be a change of leadership in Parliament,” he added.
