The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications and Member of Parliament (MP) for Abura Asebu-Kwamankese, Mr Felix Ofosu Kwakye, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of committing serious "economic atrocities" during their eight years in power.
He said the previous administration engaged in reckless financial decisions, including the incurring of "needless judgment debts" that have left the current government struggling.
Speaking during the ongoing budget debate in Parliament, Mr Ofosu Kwakye dismissed the opposition claims that the current budget had made excessive allocations to the Office of the President.
He clarified that the GH¢2.7 billion allocated to the Office of Government Machinery was primarily for compensation, covering salaries for civil servants.
