Reports coming in indicate that the Minority side in Parliament is yet to be present in the chamber as Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam is set to deliver the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament today.
This marks Dr. Amin Adam’s debut budget presentation since his appointment to the role in February 2024.
It is unknown the exact reason for the delay by the Minority Members of Parliament but sources say the leadership of the Minority is meeting with the other side to negotiate on some issues.
But ahead of the presentation, Member of Parliament representing the Yapei-Kusawgu constituency, John Abdulai Jinapor, was seen engaging one of our sister stations, TV3 on air.
He expressed the need for the government to be candid to Ghanaians about data on the state of the economy.
The presentation of the budget review will adhere to Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), which mandates an update on the government’s fiscal performance and revised financial projections halfway through the fiscal year.
Dr. Amin Adam’s presentation will provide an assessment of the implementation of the 2024 Budget, highlighting progress and adjustments needed.
Additionally, he will offer an updated economic outlook for Ghana, which will include revised financial plans aimed at addressing the current economic conditions and challenges facing the country.
