Anti-corruption crusader, Sydney Casley Hayford, has advised the Minister of Power, Kwabena Donkor to also resign within seven days if he fails to resolve the worsening power crisis.
Sydney Casley Hayford made this suggestion while expressing his views on the former Transport Minister, Dzifa Attivor’s resignation over the bus branding scandal.
A statement signed by the Minister’s Personal Assistant, Egypt Kobla Kudoto, to confirm her resignation said “Hon. Mrs. Dzifa Attivor, Minister of Transport wishes to inform the good people of Ghana that, as the Minister with oversight responsibility for the activities of the Metro Mass Transit (MMT) she has tendered in her resignation due to the current issues surrounding the branding of the 116 buses.”
Casley Hayford, who commended her decision, said Dr Kwabena Donkor cannot hide behind the excuse of faulty transmitters among others anymore after December, 31, 2015.
He insisted either the Minister rectifies the challenge or hands in his resignation within a week.
“On 31st December, 2015 Dr. Kwabena must hand in his resignation if he hasn’t solved the problem. He told us he will solve the problem a long time ago.
“He cannot wait until a week to the time and then come and tell us he needs more time to evaluate…If he wanted to end it, he should have ended it somewhere in October, done his testing and evaluation for at least the next month and said there you go, I have solved it before 31st December.
“It is not acceptable, a grace period of how long, another one year or two more years? No… we cannot continue to accept this anymore. The time for moving things back is over and we cannot continue to accept it anymore.”
