Gov’t claim of spending not entirely true – Prof Bokpin

According to him, while government has attributed previous high spending levels to wasteful expenditure under the previous administration, the current approach has resulted in insufficient investment needed to drive job creation and long-term economic growth.

Godfred Bokpin, has challenged the government’s claim that it has been undertaking significant spending, arguing that actual expenditure levels relative to the size of Ghana’s economy show a different picture.“Government will say that 2024 expenditure, a lot of them were wasteful spending, but the reality is that government is not spending appropriately to stimulate job-rich growth.
