he Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has revealed that Parliament was not presented with the details of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme before the announcement by the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.
The Suame MP speaking on the Citi FM on Monday, January 16, said there were broad discussions about the economy but they did not have the details of the debt exchange programme.
“There were meetings before the budget came to be consummated and later on presented by the Finance Minister. So we had broad discussions, but the details were not known to us at the time, but some consultations went on as to where exactly we were as a nation. But I am not too sure that this matter came up for discussion maybe the broad strokes were mentioned but not the details,” Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu told host Bernard Avle.
The government’s deadline for bondholders to sign onto the domestic debt exchange programme expires today, Monday, January 16, 2023.
