Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson, has expressed concern over the government’s continued expenditure exceeding the allocated budget in the country.
He pointed out that the lifestyle of the Akufo-Addo government does not align with the budget set for the nation.
“I have always contended that the government led by the majority leader, in particular, has been living a champagne life on an akpeteshie budget. We have a budget that is insufficient, yet the government’s lifestyle does not correspond to the financial constraints we face as a country,” he stated.
During a media engagement with parliamentary leadership, Ato Forson highlighted that in the ongoing Second Meeting of the Third Session, he expects the appearance of Ken Ofori-Atta, the Minister of Finance, for the mid-year budget review.
Forson emphasized that Ofori-Atta’s appearance is of utmost importance as it will provide Ghanaians with the opportunity to assess whether the economy is improving or if it will continue on its current trajectory.
