Full of English, empty promises – Afenyo-Markin attacks 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticised the 2026 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review presented by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, describing it as "full of English with empty promises" and arguing that it failed to address key challenges confronting the country.
Afenyo-Markin also criticised the government's handling of the cocoa sector, saying the mid-year review contained no policy announcement to address the challenges facing cocoa farmers.
The Minority Leader argued that the effectiveness of a Finance Minister should be measured by policy outcomes rather than expenditure.
