Member of Parliament for the Navrongo Central Mr. Sampson Tangombu Chiragia, said they are not expecting anything better from the Finance Minister Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta.
The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, will appear before Parliament today to lay before the House the Mid-Year Budget Review of the Economic Policy of the Government and Supplementary Estimates for the 2022 fiscal year.
Today’s presentation, pursuant to the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), will see the minister provide information on how revenue and expenditure had performed in the first half of the year, the country’s current budget deficit figures and projections for the next six months.
Meanwhile, the MP for Navrongo Central has no hope for the yet-to-be Mid Year Budget. He said, “Because of where we are now, we are not expecting anything better from him apart from probably if they finalized their program with IMF”.
Adding that, “We have got to a crossroads to go and look for a bailout somewhere.
I am not even sure we have a budget now until we see what the IMF has for us”.
The Navrongo MP thinks that Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta is coming back again to sing and only quote a Bible and probably talked about what he said in October last year.
“We don’t trust him, whatever he says is a lie” He stressed
