The Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, has thrown a challenge to the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to redeem his pledge to the Muslim community in Ghana. I think His Excellency, the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, must stand out to be counted. He also said that at the time the current government took over from them, the fare for Muslim pilgrims was at $3,450, making the new charges unacceptable. In fact, this government inherited the Hajj fare at $3,450 in 2016. I think it is time for the vice president to actually honour his pledge to Muslim community,” he said.

In the first place, the provision in the constitution that defines the qualifications, roles, and jobs of the president of Ghana is Article 66.

Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam Adoagyiri said that Alan is equally responsible for Ghana’s economic meltdown because he is the head of the Economic Management Committee of the Cabinet of Ghana. He said every Ghanaian knows that the Economic Management Team, which is set up by the president, is responsible for providing advice on the running of the economy. He added that the Economic Committee of Cabinet only presents programmes of the various ministry under it during Cabinet meetings. “But when it comes to the management of the economy, it is the Economic Management Team that has been responsible for it since and nobody should run away from it,” he said Twi. He questioned why the chairperson of the Economic Committee does not address Ghanaians on the economy if s/he is indeed superior to the head of the Economic Management Team, who is required to do so.
