The Minority in Parliament says Ghana’s economy has been characterized by a deteriorating standard of living for the average Ghanaian, among other ills.
Ranking Member on the Finance Committee Cassiel Ato Forson insinuates that this must come as a bad news for expectant Ghanaians of the 2020 budget.
The budget for next year is scheduled to be presented in Parliament by the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, on Wednesday, November 13.
The budget is expected to wrap up the first term of the Akufo-Addo government, aiming to inspire hope among Ghanaians.
But Mr Ato Forson said: “Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately we do not expect this budget to bring us hope.”
He told journalists in Accra on Monday that the past three years have seen Ghanaians suffer increasing cost in utility particularly energy, water and petrol.
Next year will be no different, he emphasised.
What is more, the Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam Constituency continued, collapse of businesses accompanied by job losses has made standard of living difficult.
