“Revocation shouldn’t end there, prosecution must follow otherwise Ghanaians will not know the difference between Mahama’s administration and us; we will be tagged as deceitful,” said the Member of Parliament for Subin Constituency, Eugene Boakye Antwi.
The MP, who doubles as the Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, was reacting to the recent shutdown by the BoG of some 23 savings and loans companies.
Speaking on Tuesday’s edition of Peace FM's morning show ‘Kokrokoo’, the Subin MP believes people must go to jail for causing so much damage in the banking sector.
According to him, if no prosecution is done, President Akufo-Addo’s will to fight corruption will be questioned; adding “people have already started talking”.
“Eyes are on us to deliver and so we must be careful…the complaints are too many. If something radical doesn’t happen…I speak today as a Member of Parliament and there are a lot of complaints from our constituents. Something must be done; it must not be business as usual; it is time to act. We are in for hard times if something radical doesn’t happen in terms of prosecution," he added.
Speaking passionately on the show, the deputy minister reiterated that if the ruling government doesn’t prosecute anyone “how Mahama was removed from office, that will also happen to us”.

Akufo-Addo and NPP is amount to nothing wen it comes to fighting corruption in this country.... I don't expect much from him and am vindicated
In fact, i just admire the Courage of this Honourable Minister/MP. He has hit the hammer right on the head of the Nail. A word to the Wise..........
MP THANK YOU FOR SAYING THE TRUTH. EVEN SOME OF OUR NPP MEMBERS ARE COMPLAINING BITTERLY,BECAUSE OF THAT OUR PEOPLE DONT COME TO MEETING AGAIN.
SOME PEOPLE JUST ACT LIKE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND COMMON ENGLISH. WHAT THE MINISTER SAID IS TOTAL DIFFERENT FROM WHAT COMMENTATORS ARE TALKING ABOUT. JUST TYPING TO SUIT THEIR LEADERS. GHANA WILL NEVER GROW IF WE CAN'NT DO AWAY WITH THIS MISINTERPRETATIONS
I was trying to reflect on the achievements of nana addo since he tooth over. But I can't count of even one. He is always talking about free SHS, but the evidence is clear that the policy is having huge challenges. His major achievement to me is collapsing everything. Nam1 was going about his business without any problem he came to destroy the business. GFA was in place, he came to dissolve it, all these banks were functioning without any issue, now he is collapsing all of them. There is a proverb that if it is not broken why fix it. He is just a bad luck up the nation.
You are right, they are clueless. Upon all the economic team this is what they could come out with. Posterity will judge them. You people have sadden our heart.
NPP didn't lose 2008 election because of Prez Kuffour. it was poor leadership style of Nana Addo that led the party down at the time. it took him years to correct himself and finally got it when Ghanaians were fed up with the NDC. as soon as Nana Addo got power, he forgot the corrections he made and now ruling like a family head.
Peacefm will send npp to opposition. You give this headline and an audio that doesn't connect with the story you have written. What sort of nun sense is that?
God bless you my MP. It is becoming clear that Ken ofori atta other members of nana addo's family just want to make money off nana addo and send our party to opposition, but some of us will not sit down for family and friends to collapse our party. Where was ofori atta when some of us were vigorously campaigning for nana addo. Where was BOG boss, addison, was he not abroad. Now that we are in power they want to send us to opposition because of their parochial interest. I swear if we lose 2020 election, they will see pepper. This party is not for nana addo's family. Sammy awuku and co should rise up and speak against this bogus collapsing of banks, it's making Ghanaians more angry. You may think you are doing this against the NDC, for all you know our supporters are the ones going to suffer. Customers can be both NDC and npp.
Well said. I am an npp member who saves at GN Bank. At this moment I am confused as to what to do. I strongly, a lot of people are also in emotional trauma as I find myself. Of course, Ghanaians are watching closely and npp is likely make history by being the first party to go to opposition after just four years. How can you cause so much hardship to people after collapsing Nam1's business and closed so many banks and expect to win reelection because of free SHS? You must be joking. Antwi is from our stronghold, so if he is speaking like this then he knows what he is talking about. Maybe we think we will rig the election so we don't care, but the way Ghanaians are wide awake a lot of politicians will go down if that happens.
