Minority calls on President Mills to resign immediately

Minority Members in Parliament are calling on President Mills to resign from his executive duties in his involvement with the payment of GHC58 million judgment debt.
They are also calling on him to reinstate former Minister of Attorney General, Martin Amidu immediately.
The Member of Parliament for Bosomtwi constituency in the Ashanti Region, Simon Osei Mensah says the fact that Executive Director of EOCO, Mordey Akpadzi stated that President Mills, on two occasions, asked that Mr. Woyome should not be paid and twice, that directive was violated and the payments made indictates that President Mills should be questioned.
According to Simon Osei Mensah, the President was not honest with the people of Ghana with the payment of GHC58 million judgment debts.
Simon Osei Mensah says there will be a serious leadership crisis in the country if President Mills is at post.
Speaking to Adom news, the Member of Parliament for Amenfi East, Joseph Boahen Adu says the ECOCO reports suggest weakness in President Mill’s leadership style.
He says if the President on two occasions directed the judgment debt should not be paid and it was paid by the Attorney General then it means that President Mills should also be questioned.
He says the reports vindicated former ministers who refused invitation by Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO).
On the Majority Side, the Member of Parliament for Adenta Constituency, Mr Adu Asare says it’s a shame that Minority is passing judgment while investigation has not been concluded.
He says there are technical issues involved and therefore Ghanaians should be patience to study the merit and demerit on the issue.
Adu Asare says people should not blame President Mills but rather wait till investigations are over.
