Minority Will Not Boycott Budget Reading- Haruna Iddrisu

The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, has disclosed that the Minority Caucus will be in Parliament today to hear the budget, which will be presented by the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori Atta.

The Tamale South lawmaker explained that Members of Parliament have an obligation to carry oversight on the Executive.

According to him, although the Minority is closely pushing the motion of censure against the Finance Minister, the Minority will be in Parliament to hear the budget today.

“While we remain committed to seeing through the process to ensure the Finance Minister, we are mindful of our duty to carry out oversight on the Executive and preserve the interest of the Ghanaian people whose livelihoods the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration has severely undermined through mismanagement of the economy,” a statement issued by the Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu said.

Meanwhile, the Majority leader and other NPP MPs have also announced that they would be present in Parliament today to help facilitate government business. According to the Majority Leader, the President had once again pled with the Majority that they should allow the Finance Minister read the budget.

And after all, is said and done, he, the President, will act on the wishes of the Majority caucus.
