The Minority caucus has gathered over 100 signatures from its fold to kickstart the vote of censure proceedings against the Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.
Their action seeks to invoke article 82 of the constitution, which provides for the elaborate procedure of removing a minister of the state through proceedings in Parliament.
If the motion is admitted, the Minister for Finance will be the second Minister in recent times to have such a motion filed against him, following that of the Minister of Health, which is still pending in the house.
The Minister for Finance has been under pressure to resign following the decision of the country to resort to the IMF for a bailout after his comments and posturing previously were against such a measure.
