Samuel Nartey George, a member of parliament representing Ningo Prampram, has criticized the 2024 budget statement that Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta gave.
He said there was no real plan to alleviate the current economic challenges, and the budget was empty.
Speaking on Wednesday, November 29, during a debate on the approval of the 2024 budget during a parliamentary break, Mr. George expressed his displeasure with Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s leadership, pointing out that the budget presentation did not provide the government with a reason to believe that the country will be restored.
He declared that the Majority Leader was working to address the economic issues brought about by the NPP administration.
“The budget is empty, Kyei is clutching at straws. It is the disposition of the Majority, that air of arrogance, incompetent arrogance at managing their caucus that has brought the government where it is and will bring the government to its knees.
“They [Majority] can continue running and chasing their own shadows, we [Minority] are here, we are ready for a vote if their men and women of substance believe in their budget [and] if they respect the Ghanaian people, they should come back into the chamber and earn their salary for November by taking part in the vote,” Mr George stressed.
