Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase/Ayirebi, has emphasized the Minority’s dedication to thoroughly examining the 2025 budget to ensure it effectively serves the interests of Ghanaians.
He highlighted Parliament’s role in scrutinizing government programs, commitments, and budget allocations to guarantee their efficiency and sustainability.
“Our job as Parliament is to examine the commitments/programs and to examine the budgets for each of them. Our job is to assess, make recommendations, and, in the end, approve the policy and the budget,” he stated.
He further stressed that past experiences in governance, both successes and failures, would guide their assessment process, incorporating valuable feedback from constituents.
“We will bring to bear the knowledge we’ve acquired in government, the lessons from what went right and wrong in our era, and the feedback from our constituents in our assessment and approvals.”
With the upcoming budget presentation by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson set for Tuesday, March 11, 2025, Oppong Nkrumah expressed optimism that governance would take precedence over propaganda.
“It’s good that finally the propaganda is going to give way to governance programs that can respond to the outstanding challenges our people face. We in the minority will do our part to help these programs succeed for the people of Ghana.”
