A total of 137 legislators of the Ghanaian parliament have moved a motion to sack the West African country’s finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to the constitution, a vote of censure may or may not lead to the resignation or outright firing of a government appointee. The legislators said he made “illegal” payments of oil revenues into offshore accounts and was “deliberately” and “dishonestly” misreporting economic data to the Parliament.
