The Minority in Parliament has urged government to withdraw the 2018 budget statement presented to the House by the Finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta last Wednesday.
According to the Minority spokesperson on Finance and MP for Ajumako, Ajumako Enyan Essiam, government revised the 2017 budget without Parliamentary approval hence the need for the withdrawal of the 2018 document which contains portions of the previous one.
To him, the Finance Minister’s actions constitutes an act of illegality and therefore called on members to reject and withdraw the said budget immediately.
He made this statement in his preliminary remarks, Tuesday, before going ahead to make his case for the 2018 budget.
According to the Minority spokesperson on Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, government revised the 2017 budget without Parliamentary approval hence the need for the withdrawal of the 2018 document which contains portions of the previous one.
Ato Forson made the comments during the maiden debate on the 2018 budget in the House Tuesday.
The Minority ahead of the budget debate has described the content of the economic statement as empty. They argue that the Nation Builders Corps program, which is expected to hire some 100,000 graduates next year, is nothing but jobs for party boys and girls and also an extension of the National Service Scheme.

Sorry, we have a confused minority and chaps who don't read in parliament.period!
This Ato Forson guy is being used by the minority to bring shame to the NDC. I think his constituency should throw him out next time around. If he keeps going like this, his people may not get development projects for a very long time. As an MP, you don't antagonize the government. You have to lobby and cajole the government for development projects for your constituency. He is gradually becoming a nuisance to himself. Thread cautiously, Ato Forson.
Ato Forson, be real for once..................Aba
MINORUTY NE GYIMIEEE DEA OH...DABI DABI DABI

What else do you expect from the minority after describing the budget as 419 and Wahala Budget even before it was read? They have no alternative to offer but to criticize. This is their 72nd press conference since this year.

EVEN THE OPPOSITION DOESN'T FIT THIS PARTY . A BUNCH OF SABOTEURS.YOU LOSERS GET A LIFE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
