Mid-Year budget review uninspiring; government must ‘walk the talk’ – Afenyo-Markin

Reacting to the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Statement presented by the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, in Parliament on Thursday, July 23, the Minority leader said that the statement lacked concrete policy interventions to address key national challenges." The Minority Leader said the Budget Review failed to provide any policy direction for Ghana's cocoa industry despite the challenges facing farmers.

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticised the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, describing it as "uninspiring" and urging the government to match its promises with action.
