Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has expressed disappointment in the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review, stating it signals the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) impending transition to the opposition.
Dr Ato Forson’s remarks followed Finance Minister Dr Amin Adam’s review presentation in Parliament on Tuesday, July 23.
The Minister highlighted the government’s efforts to reverse negative economic trends and control expenditures, reporting a provisional total debt of GH¢742 billion (US$50.9 billion) as of June, representing 70.6% of GDP.
He assured that the government is living within its budget.
Despite these assurances, Dr Ato Forson criticised the review for not abolishing some taxes such as the COVID levy, E-levy, and emissions levy.
