The Minority Caucus in Parliament has stated that the administration is heavily indebted to the country and intends to leave, leaving the economy insolvent.
This comes after Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta presented the government’s 2024 budget in Parliament on Wednesday, November 15, 2023.
Mr. Ofori-Atta stated, among other things, that Ghana’s economy, which had fallen in recent years, has begun to show signs of life.
However, in response to the budget, Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson stated that the formerly sturdy economy handed over by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration is now shaky because the NPP government has failed to live up to expectations.
He emphasised that the NPP government had left Ghanaians in poverty as a result of the country’s dire economic situation.
“Mr Speaker, the government will leave a bankrupt economy in its wake.” “The government will leave the country in a ‘ahokyere’ state,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Majority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, contradicted the Minority Leader’s claim, emphasising that “the economy was worse under the NDC.”
