The Minority in Parliament have criticized the 2024 mid-year budget, describing it as uninspiring and hopeless.
In a statement signed by the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson he said that the government missed a fine opportunity to abolish taxes such as e-levy, which has suffocated Ghanaians in recent times.
Dr Forson indicated that Ghanaians expected taxes such as the E-levy, Emission Levy, and COVID Levy to be removed.
The Ejumako Enyan Essian lawmaker accused the Akufo-Addo-led administration of lacking ideas on how to handle the economy.
According him, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration is heading into opposition because of their lack of ideas.
This comes after Parliament's mid-year budget statement by Finance Minister, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam on Tuesday, July 23,
"This mid-year review leaves many people disappointed and uninspired. It gives no hope to hope to the ordinary Ghanaian that anything will be done to change the unbearable hardships that confront the people of Ghana."
"In the last eight (8) years, Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have burdened Ghanaian businesses and individuals with high tax regime, he stated.
