The Chairman of the Finance Committee of Parliament, Kwaku Kwarteng has disclosed that the Minority members of the Committee have agreed that the $750m loan requested by the Finance Ministry be presented to the plenary for approval.
Earlier the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu had asked for “further and better particulars” on the loan agreement before his side of the House will consent to its approval.
The Tamale South MP in an interview with JoyNews on Tuesday noted that although government needs the loan facility urgently, it must provide more clarity on the deal before the Minority Group can consent to its approval.
“I know that they are in dying need of resources for our import cover and therefore if they provide further and better particulars on the $750m, we are open and amenable to getting that approved as soon as practicable,” he stated.
