Dr Gideon Boako, Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament's Finance Committee and MP for Tano North, has accused President John Dramani Mahama's administration of running a bloated government expenditure despite earlier criticisms of the previous government.
Speaking on Metro TV's Good Evening Ghana on Tuesday, March 11, Dr Boako argued that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, particularly Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, had failed to match its rhetoric on lean governance with action.
According to Dr.
Boako, the NDC heavily criticised former President Akufo-Addo's administration for maintaining a large government and allocating significant funds to the Office of the President. "The NDC, particularly Ato Forson, made a lot of noise about the size of Akufo-Addo's government and the budget that was allocated to the Office of the President," he stated.
