However, upon their arrival at the bank's premises, they were received by the Director of Security, Retired Wing Commander Kwame Asare Boateng, who said that the governor and his deputies were in a meeting with some representatives from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The Minority leader who expressed his disappointment, stressed that their primary demand was the exit of the governor, and they would not present their petition to anyone other than the governor himself.
“We will hold you accountable, particularly the governor. We are demanding his exit. Now that he has decided to disrespect us, we will not present our petition, we will go and come back again, we will come back and demand to see him in person. The crowd you see here is just the beginning, we will come back again, and I assure you that. He should better come in here,” he said.
He emphasised that the governor's primary responsibility was to the people of Ghana and not the IMF.
“If he thinks that the IMF is more important than the parliament of Ghana and the people of Ghana, he should know that he is here because of the people of Ghana and not the IMF. Let him deal with the IMF but we will come after him,” he added.
Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
