Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho says the Finance Minster, Ken Ofori-Atta will have absolutely nothing new to say in his 2018 budget presentation.
“He [Ken Ofori-Atta] will be interested in telling us about his entire family both the living and the dead rather than presenting a budget. He has nothing to tell us, nothing new,” Koku said in an interview with Neat FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Ken Ofori-Atta will on Wednesday present the 2018 Budget and Economic Policy of the government to Parliament, in which he will be seeking approval to spend some GHc61 billion.
The amount is needed to anchor the government’s agenda of moving the economy beyond the reliance on foreign support or aid.
The budget is, therefore, expected to focus on ensuring macroeconomic stability, transforming agriculture and industry, strengthening social protection and inclusion, building on economic and social infrastructure and reforming public service delivery institutions.
The Minister is expected to announce a number of initiatives towards stimulating economic activities and ultimately ensuring economic growth and the creation of jobs.
But Koku argues all what the Nana Addo-led government has promised is a hoax and cannot not deliver as promised.
“What they promised in their earlier budget, we are yet to see that. I don’t think they are coming to say something new. It will be a recap of the old thing with big grammar. The NPP will not bring a relief to Ghanaians,” he said.

Koku you must stop casting aspersions on the finance minister, instead think about the NDCs sinking boat. Whatever you say is sen-se-less and ***barred word*** I pity the the stomach that gave birth to you!
Another s1lly fo0l in the NDC
Koku are you intelligent? CURIOUS! Zip it & let those with brains fix the economy.
When Koku met Akufo-Addo sometime ago, he started saying beautiful things and began to get admirers for his 'newly-found maturity'. Then all of a sudden,he has gone back to the abyss. I think he should try to meet Akufo-Addo often to be a better person. Otherwise, a time will come when people will describe him as a nuisance and finally ignore whatever he says.
Folks, what did Koku say this time and everyone is bashing him?
this ndc t.h.i.e.f is simply a f0..00l
Sooner or later, Ghanaians would know the follies of the NDC people.
This is the exact same language that sent them into opposition. THE NDC WILL NEVER LEARN!
Is Ghana doomed? Why are we cursed with such blabbermouths who continuously spew nothing but junk on our airwaves.Sometimes I blame the Twi stations. They don't seem to have any standards. They can put anything on air in so far as a person opens his mouth.
It is the fault of the media, that is sometimes to blame. When Jeremy Coburn speaks, you will indeed know that when Theresa May is not there, the United Kingdom will survive. That is the problem we have with NDC now. Sometimes, you wonder where we are really going. Koku, if I look at you, I wonder what really he can do better in life if not uttering utter n0n3en3e most of his political career. Just as you will hate Ablakwa, you know the guy is sharp and if position himself can achieve greater things but Koku deeeear, it is just a pity. Ken is able to talk about his family because there are a lot of good things that have come out from there and which need celebrating. What about you? We do not know where you even come from though you are a Voltarian. Sometimes, people like Ephraim Amu, Awoonor, Gbedemah, Tsikata should slap you when you open your mouth, because you kept disgracing them. They are not noted for insults but brains.
