According to the lawmakers, numbering about 80, led by MP for Asante Akyem North, Andy Appiah-Kubi who addressed a news conference on Tuesday October 25, 2022 to pressure the President to remove the ministers and their deputies.
Leader of the group said they will not participate in the upcoming budget hearing if those people remain at posts.
He stated that the request has been forwarded to the Presidency through the leadership but to no avail hence the decision to go public.
