The National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for the people Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo is not pleased with the Finance Minister’s frequent biblical quotations during any time he addresses the nation.

The Finance Minister appeared before Parliament on Thursday, February 16,2023 to brief the legislators about the government’s Domestic Debt Exchange Programme.

Usual of him, Ken Ofori Atta concluded his statement with a quotation from the Holy Book.

Unhappy by the quotation,  Mr.Adongo questioned the moral grounds the Finance Minister had using the word of God in all his appearaances but harsly taking hard-earned monies of Ghanaians.

“As a country, we are not angry enough. This cannot happen to anybody. You are here reading this boring and underwhelming statement to us and yet you are taking our money.

“This is not a joke, you are even quoting the Bible. Which of the Bibles are you quoting? Quoting the Bible and taking our money? You are denying the poor pensioner his/her money and you are still quoting the Bible?” he quizzed.

The Bolgatanga Central lawmaker subsequently asked the Finance Minister to resign with immediate effect for mismanaging the economy.

“Resign! Resign right here in your statement to Parliament,” he was categoric.
