Parliament is represented by a nine-member in Washington DC in the United States of America as part of Ghana’s delegation attending the 2023  International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Spring Meetings as the government seeks to secure a $3 billion dollar support.

The delegation is led by MP for Obuasi West and chairman of the finance committee in Parliament, Kwaku Kwarteng.

The eight other members include:

The vice-chair of the finance committee and MP for Okaikoi, Patrick Yaw Boamah

 

Minority Leader in Parliament and MP for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam , Cassiel Ato Baah  Forson

 

Chairperson on Environment, Science and Technology Committee and  Member of Parliament for Oforikrom, Dr Emmanuel Marfo.

 

Kennedy Osei Nyarko, chairman of the Roads and Transport, Member of Parliament for Akim Swedru

 

Davis Ansah Opoku, Member of Public Accounts Committee and MP for Mpraeso

Betty Nana Efua Krosbi Mensah, Member of Gender and Children Committee  and Member of Parliament for Afram Plains North.

 

 

 

The delegation forms part of a team made up of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison and other members of Ghana’s economic management team.

“The meeting is particularly important for us, Parliament as the institution that is responsible for oversight and for budget and also for legislation,” the Oforikrom MP told Accra-based Asaase Radio in an interview.

“Whatever priorities that the government have, we need to make sure that there is an appropriate budget for them. And we will also make sure that whatever commitment government makes, we are able to follow through to make sure they are done,” he stated.

Ghana’s delegation is led by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta along with top finance ministry and Bank of Ghana officials.

Ofori-Atta and his team will be seeking to get assurances from bilateral and multilateral lenders with the view to getting IMF Board approval for a US$3 billion facility.

Government has already got a staff-level agreement in place since late last year and is in the process of completing external debt restructuring after a contentious domestic debt deal was agreed months back.
