Though there have been occasionally individual interventions, some have not helped find resolution to the issue in contention as some gave rather escalated matters.

However, at a meeting held on Tuesday November 22, 2022 according to a joint statement signed by Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh and Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the NPP, the aggrieved majority caucus has agreed to abide by the agreement they earlier had with President Akufo-Addo which will see to the minister going after conclusion of rounds of negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which would be fed into the 2022 budget.

They also agreed to allow the Finance Minister present the 2023 budget statement and subsequent presentation and passage of the Appropriation Bill.

It must be noted that “the meeting agreed that the President will act upon the initial request of the NPP Parliamentary Caucus after the conclusion of these matters.”
