The MP unveiled that since the seventh Parliament started, the Minister has never showed up before the Public Account Committee, "he has forever been sending his agents with one reason."
"So it is presently turning out to be evident that when we say that he doesn't give Parliament the due respect, we have the bases. I have recommended to the administration of the Committee that we ought to never again endure delegates to address him. We should likewise force him to seem himself. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 you (Ofori-Atta) have never showed up before the Public Account Committee, why?" the MP tested.
The Finance Minister subsequent to deferring various times to show up in Parliament and record for COVID uses, he at long last did so last Wednesday June 22, 2022.

"I should put on record that sadly Ken Ofori-Atta has prompted the rage of my side in Parliament for his reluctance to come to Parliament with dispatch to answer questions and inquiries. On the off chance that you notice I have had a course to whine, my authority has grumbled much the same way. The last time Ken Ofori Atta showed up on the floor of Parliament to address individuals' inquiries before the Wednesday appearance was in June last year.
"I alone had recorded somewhere around four inquiries to him on issues to do with use connected with Free Senior High School and its execution. None of my inquiries had the opportunity to show up and I recollect that I even fought to the Majority of the House when we were thinking about the business proclamation preceding Wednesday. I figured the inquiries to the Minister of Finance ought to be more than 16," he unveiled.
The Ranking Member on Education further unveiled that "the justification for the build-up is on the grounds that he doesn't appear to be excited to come and respond to our inquiry; he possibly comes when he wants us to pass something for his sake. We are starting to feel that he is uncalled for to us."
