Businessman Magnus Naabe RexDanquah, is asking parliamentarians on the Majority side who have petitioned for the removal from office of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu-Boahen to stand their ground.

He says by so doing, the parliamentarians will be standing with the people which is ‘right’, ‘proper’ and ‘useful’ rather than standing by ‘family and friends’ for momentary offers.

The Land Economist, SportBusiness Consultant and Social Commentator cum Author gave the admonition in a letter he has forwarded to the parliamentarians, in which he urges the MPs concerned to let their decision count.

He said the MPs have done the right and proper thing by calling for the dismissals of the Minister for Finance and the Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, both of who do not need to wait to be forced out, “if they will only RESIGN on their own accord. The IMF NEGOTIATIONS can advance and conclude without their participation or involvement. Changing them will not hurt or devalue Ghana's options.”

Below is the letter in full.

Dear Member of Parliament (MP),

It is worth your moment to reflect on this attached poem during such trying times as our nation, GHANA faces now…..as a nation and as a people, we owe it not only to ourselves but posterity to do the right thing: STANDING ON THE SIDE OF CONSCIENCE & WITH THE PEOPLE.

This MOMENT IN TIME is more than historic. Don't side with the group whose tenure comes to an end by 2024, when yours will require another term as MP after Elections 2024.

You ought to take a STAND now or forever hold your peace, please let your conscience and the calling of your office guide all your decisions, now and going forward towards ELECTIONS 2024.

Your individual and collective decisions now as Members of Parliament (MPs) are at stake, not forgetting we swim or sink together, whether in Majority or Minority.

Let HISTORY determine your place and not offers of momentariness influence you, please senior.

STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE GHANA PEOPLE, what is right and proper and good for this nation.

Let the proceedings of the 4th Republican Dispensation, 8th Parliament absolve you for your name to be recorded in history and in gold lettering.

DO THE RIGHT THING on the side of the People and not that of 'FAMILY & FRIENDS'.

There are indeed trying days and weeks and months and years ahead of us as a nation and as a people; it is how we hold ourselves together in unity and singleness of purpose, will we be able to circumvent the unique, troubling precipices that confront us now.

Let your decision count as we salute the Majority Members of Parliament who have done the right and proper thing by calling for the dismissals of the Hon. Minister for Finance and the Hon. Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance.

They both don't need this, if they will only RESIGN on their own accord. The IMF NEGOTIATIONS can advance and conclude without their participation or involvement. Changing them will not hurt or devalue Ghana's options.

GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA AND MAKE OUR NATION, GREAT AND STRONG!!!!!

Thank you and regards.
RexDanquah, the Ghanaian
