The Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, Collins Amoako-Mensah, has criticised the budget allocation for communications under the John Dramani Mahama-led government.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, monitored by GhanaWeb on Thursday, March 13, 2025, he questioned why government communicators had been allocated GH¢8.8 million for goods and services. "The Office of Government Machinery, specifically government communications, has been allocated GH¢8.8 million for goods and services.
Additionally, the research department at the Presidency has been allocated GH¢50 million, almost the same as the GH¢51 million allocated for the Women's Development Bank.
Can you imagine?" he remarked.
