The Minority Leader in , Dr. , has issued a strong warning to the government, stating that it will be held accountable for any unfulfilled commitments between January 1 and 7, 2025.
His remarks were in response to the Minister of Finance's failure to present a mini-budget for the first quarter of 2025.
Speaking to the press in after the House adjourned until January 2, Dr Ato Forson expressed serious concerns about the government's lack of preparation to ensure the smooth operation of the economy at the start of the new year.
He emphasised that the absence of a mini-budget could disrupt essential services and obligations, placing unnecessary burdens on the Ghanaian people. "The Vice President can present the expenditure in advance of appropriation to this House after 7 January 2025, following his swearing-in, and this House will be properly constituted to expedite its approval. "While we are very disappointed, we want to caution the outgoing Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government that they will be responsible for all unmet commitments and obligations of the state from 1 January onwards," he stated.
