This comes on the back of the economic challenges facing the country.
The NPP lawmakers who made the call said they will not be part of the 2023 budget hearing and debate if the President fails to act on their request.
Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday, October 25, a lawmaker for Asante Akyem North, Andy Appiah Kubi said “We are unhappy with the developments in the country, we consulted our constituents who also expressed the same sentiments.

We want the President to remove Ken Ofori and Chares Adu Boahen. We are by this medium communicating our strong desire that the President changes the Minister of Finance and the Minister of State in the Finance Ministry without further delay.
“We want to serve notice, and notice is hereby served that until such persons as aforementioned are made to resign or removed from office, we members of the Majority Caucus here in Parliament will not participate in any business of Government by or, for the president by any other Minster.
“We hope that those of us in the back bench and members of the Majority caucus will abide by this prayer. We are saying that if our request is not responded to positively, we will not be present for the budget hearing nor will we participate in the debate”, the MPs stated.
The Minority MPs also held a press conference a few hours after that of the Majority MPs.
According to the Minority MPs, the call for Ken Ofori-Atta’s sack is long overdue and they've added that the bank of Ghana boss must be sacked as well.
