The Minority and Majority Leaders, Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin and Hon. Mahama Ayariga respectively have summed-up concerns, sentiments and views of their Members on the Mid-Year Review of the Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government of Ghana for the 2026 Financial Year presented by the Finance Ministe, Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson on Thursday 23rd July 2026. According to the Minority Leader, the presentation by the Finance for Minister is nothing but rhetorics to the extent that there are no new jobs, high prices of food, transportation, rents and electricity tariffs have increased by 30% in one and half years. However, the Majority Leader debunked the assertion by his colleague on the other side, noting that the previous government rather spent a lot of funds on projects like the Cathedral and the ambitious agenda 111 that they could not complete. He commended the Finance Minister for making the debt sustainability better, improving the economy as well as making reserves much stronger.
