The minority intends to push its discontent a little higher following remarks made by Prime Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo about the expulsion of Chinese Queen Galamsey Aisha Huang.
Mr. Maafo was severely criticized for the remarks he made at a recent public meeting in the United States, when he sought to explain why Aisha, known for her exploits in the past, 39, illegal mining, was deported only after his arrest by the authorities.
The decision to deport her, especially at a time when President Akufo-Addo was at war with activity in the country, has aroused public concern, many challenging the president's commitment.
A participant at the meeting, who was also uncomfortable with the changing situation, wanted the government to let the Chinese justify themselves, and Mr. Maafo responded in his response: Ghana has excellent diplomatic relations with China and intends to involve them in key infrastructure projects, citing the $ 2 billion Sinohydro agreement.
Aisha Huang's illegal activities have had devastating effects on Ghana's water bodies
"Today, the main company that contributes to the development of the infrastructure system in Ghana is Sinohydro, it is a Chinese company. It's the one that will help us deal with our bauxite and provide us with about $ 2 billion, "he said.
"So, when there is this kind of arrangements, there are other things behind the scenes. [Aisha] in prison in Ghana will not solve your economic problems, "he said.

The cabinet of the prime minister clarified his statement, saying he believed that the prosecution had been badigned to a competent court and that Ghanaians should focus on the economic gains of the government and how best to consolidate them.
But the minority will not have one.
Mr. Fuseini says that the minority will act if the president fails to
Inusah Fuseini, former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, who has already asked the president to dismiss Mr. Maafo told Joy News that the Prime Minister's comment made him poorly qualified for the position he held.
The deputy of Tamale Central asks the Parliament to proceed to a vote of censure, in accordance with the Constitution, in order to dismiss Mr. Maafo, Minister of Finance under the John Kufuor administration.
Article 82 of the 1992 Constitutes provides that "(1) Parliament may, by a resolution supported by the vote of at least two-thirds of all members of Parliament, vote a vote of no confidence in the Against a state minister.
(2) A motion for resolution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article may be presented to Parliament only if:
(a) a notice of seven days has been given to the application; and
(b) the notice of motion has been signed by at least one third of all members of Parliament;
(3) The motion shall be debated in Parliament within fourteen days of the receipt by the chair of the notice of motion.
Mr Maafo said the Akufo-Addo administration was determined to fight against illegal mining
(4) A Minister of State in respect of which a non-confidence vote is debated under paragraph (3) of this section is entitled to be heard during the debate.
(5) Where a vote of no confidence is held against a minister under this section, the president may, except with respect to the resignation of the minister, revoke his appointment.

Mr Fuseini said that the minority had reached a consensus on the issue "and we are studying the possibility of doing so. If the chair does not fire him, we will table a motion and start the removal process.
"Because he brought shame and embarrbadment to the world," he added.
He insists that the Prime Minister had no reason to explain how the case had been handled and that his comments on this international platform were useless.
