Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson is slated to present the mid‑year statement to Parliament on Thursday, July 24.
Speaking to JoyNews' Parliamentary correspondent, Kwaku Asante, Mr Afful stated that the Mid-year budget to be read by the Finance Minister will take the form of a statement rather than a motion, as there will be no call for additional funds. "The investigation I've done so far is that the government will not come to the House to ask for additional funds," he said. "We are going to stay within the appropriation of 293 billion that was programmed to execute the 2025 budget.
