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.

What I saw in the 2018 Budget was Legacy. The Legacy Digitizing Taxable Income Digitizing Workplace Transactions Digitizing Workplace Pension Contributions possibly linking both to the National ID Forensic Investigations receive a boost at KNUST Silver Platter - Values Cynic - Devalues Silver Spoon - Handouts Auditing - Inspectors Civic Rights - The Citizen Golden Handshake Windfall Taxman Voluntary Declarations Tax Bill Tax Payment Freedom End My observations are that opportunities in Ghana as defined at Cambridge, Disability Allowance in Cape Coast, One District $1m, Investigating the Haulage industry in Ghana to unearth these opportunities for example are all issues which require big data at Kwabenya Telescopic research to look into formally. The Forensics initiative at KNUST should dive deep into land and property usurpation as encroachments were encouraged in the past breeding lawlessness. H
Ndc ni gyimigyimii,you people are so fffoolish and irrelevant in parliament!!!
I don't know how to describe some of these NDC MPs... they are m0.r0.ns and not fit to sit in parliament..... Honourables my foot... I call them t.h.i.e.ves... They have nothing to add to our democracy. NPP govt must simply ignore them and carry on with their agenda for our country. The NDC can go and burn the sea.
See these jokkers, and they call them honorable. We had these managing this country’s economy, no wonder they were so incompetent
So the National Demons Party (NDC) are still organising another press conference to exhibit their naivity about economic matters which barely one year ago was on its kness and which they helped to ruin ; the question is where is a copy of their alternative budget which will help serious minded people to make some comparison ; the truth of the matter is that they do not have a credible economic team to analyse the budget ; they parade this fante Jaguar Joker Ato Forson as their econmic guru ; this Ato forson is an NDC master thiff and a kreminal who stole peoples cash in the UK but today has built a big hotel ; how did this krook build this Hotel ; it was all CREATE LOOT AND SHARE ; bloating contract prices and steeling with Seth Terpkor and Mona Quartey ; why is Mona Quartey or Seth Terpkor not at these Press brifings ; JUST LOOK AT THEM !!!!!; WHAT A JOKE : NO CREATIVITY BUT ABILITY TO BE CREATIVE IN STEILLING FROM GHANAIANS : WHEN IS THE NEXT PRESS STATEMENT TO GHANAIANS !!!!!!BANDITS !!!!!AND KREMINALS !!!!!CALLING THEMSELVE POLITICIANS !!!!!!
NKWASEASEMMM KWAAKWA. DISGRACEFULLL MINORITY
That the NDC will organize a press conference is not a problem. That they can even criticize the Government should be welcomed. But when one begins to think of their delivery the past 8 years, and compare it with what they say now in their almost weekly press conferences, one would want to look for the nearest bowl and puke inside! If anything will lengthen the stay of the NDC in opposition, it is this type of press conferences. Each day they organize one, it refreshes the memory of the hardship to which they subjected this nation. It is only their silence for at least 2 years, will make us forget to some extent. But they can't seem to get that!
About 11 Months ago these so-called economists People have ruined the country Ghana from to to DOWN with their incompetent policies. Now in opposition, they seem to be perfect Economists, This means they are good at the OPPOSITION. Even with this they DO NOT PROVIDE ANY ALTERNATIVES as they do NOT have in mind.
These incompetent lot who a few months ago run the economy to the ground suddenly seems to know everything about the economy in opposition. Opposition is good for the ndc, may they remain there forever
