Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has labelled the 2025 budget statement by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson as uninspiring and full of lamentations.
According to Afenyo-Markin who described the 2025 budget as “Azaa budget”, the statement didn’t inspire any hope as the Minister “just came to the Parliamentary chamber to complain”.
He indicated that the minority is going to expose the government for Ghanaians to know that there is nothing better in the budget read by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
“Mr. Speaker this is an Azaa budget and there is nothing in it. This budget does not inspire any hope for the Ghanaian youth who is looking for job to do.”
“Even their own 24 hour economy that they have been making noise about, it was not captured in the budget. The Minister is now telling us that they will present it to Parliament later. This is an ‘Azaa budget’,” the Minority Leader said.
