The Minority in Parliament has strongly criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government's 2025 budget, particularly the job creation promises, which they have labelled as "sakawa jobs," implying that these positions are unrealistic or fraudulent.
Speaking to the media after Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson delivered the budget on Tuesday, 11th March, the minority expressed their dissatisfaction with several aspects of the budget.
They were especially concerned about the government's promises of job creation.
The minority also took issue with what they saw as contradictory statements from the Finance Minister.
