The Executive Director of the Centre for Public Awareness and Opinion (CenPOA), a non-partisan, non-governmental civil organization, has advised the (NPP) to avoid politics of mischief in order to restore its eroding integrity.
Michael Donyina Mensah was responding to the commentary by the NPP regarding the 2025 budget statement presented before Parliament on March 11, 2025.
He noted that describing the budget as an "azaa budget" is not only unfortunate but also politically insincere.
Mensah stated that although they may have their observations and opinions about the budget, they cannot describe it as an "azaa budget." He explained that some of the projections made in the budget can be termed as "very ambitious," and it is acceptable for people to have their skepticism.
