    Following their absence on Tuesday, October 3, the Minority has vowed to take to the streets once more in the near future to protest and demand the resignation of Dr. Ernest Yedu Kwamina Addison, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, and his two deputies.

    The Minority had demanded, following a procession from Obra Spot near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange, to present its petition to Dr. Addison or at least one of his two deputies.

    However, the Governor authorized Wing Commander (rtd) Kwame Asare Boateng, the Bank of Ghana’s Director of Security, to accept the petition on his behalf.

    Dr. Addison and his two deputies, Elsie Addo Awadzi and Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari, were reportedly in a meeting with representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

    “We were informed that you were coming to present a petition to the Governor but the three governors are currently meeting the IMF and there is nobody there,” WC (rtd) Asare Boateng told leaders of the protest.

    “So, the Governor has asked that I meet you and take the petition.”

    The Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, felt “disrespected” by the gesture and was not pleased.

    “First, let me say that I feel very disrespected as the leader of the opposition in Parliament for a simple reason that we demanded to present a petition to the Governor of the central bank of the Republic of Ghana otherwise known as the Bank of Ghana.

    “The Governor has two deputies namely Deputy 1 and Deputy 2.

    “Unfortunately, he has decided to disrespect us and the two deputies have also decided to disrespect us.”

    He later gave notice that they would return and would not give in to their demands for the resignation of the three.

    “We will come back again,” he said.

    Dr. Ato Forson later added: “Until we see him, we are not stopping. This is just the beginning.”
