Deputy Minister-designate for Roads and Highways, Alhassan Suhuyini has said the 2025 Budget is a proof of President Mahama's commitment to Ghanaians to reset the economy.
He says the NDC and President Mahama in the 2025 Budget has proved that some politicians particularly President Mahama is not deceptive hitherto the narrative that politicians deceive Ghanaians with campaign promises.
Speaking in an interview on TV3's New Day, Wednesday, March 12, 2025, the Tamale North MP explained that the budget captured most of the campaign promises by the NDC and President Mahama. "This budget sought to erase the notion that is fast gaining ground in relation to what many of our young people think about politicians, that we will say the sweet and palatable things to win campaigns without really meaning those things. "This budget sought to create the difference that there are some groups of politicians like H.E John Dramani Mahama and the NDC who will promise the things they are committed to do implement it," he stated.
Citing the NDC's campaign promises like the establishment of Women's Development Bank, the abolishing of the E-Levy and betting tax, the training of 1 million coders, Suhuyini says the party has shown commitment to implement those promises by capturing them in the budget. "For example, when we promised that we were going to create the Women's Development Bank, some thought that it was just politically palatable and some though that when we come, we will shift it, it was captured in the budget and some funds allocated for it. "If we had not addressed those issues we would have depleted the confidence that people are fast losing in politicians and our democracy," he added.
