The opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) has said the party’s caucus in parliament will participate in the vetting of Akufo-Addo’s Ministers despite its position not to recognize the President.
Addressing a
Press conference in Accra, the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu
Nketiah intimated their resolve to participate in the exercise is in the
national interest.
“Yes, we’ll
participate in the vetting, because taking part is not meant to approve alone.
It’s also meant to block thieves from becoming ministers,” he explained.
The National Democratic Congress
says it will not recognize Nana Akufo-Addo as President of the country until
all issues surrounding the December 7, 2020 elections are resolved.
“Let me state without any equivocation
that the NDC shall not recognize Mr Akufo-Addo as the President of Ghana until
all issues surrounding his flawed elections are satisfactorily resolved,”
General Secretary of the party Johnson Asiedu Nketia said at a press conference
Friday.
Commenting further on this, the
General Scribe of the NDC insisted that although they’ve taken an entrenched
resistance to Akufo-Addo’s legitimacy as a result of their electoral disputes,
they will still perform their watchdog role.
According to him, they will participate
in the debate of bills in parliament and if they are bad, they’ll shoot them
down.
“We know what will hurt the nation and what will promote the
national interest.”
