Ato Forson, Minority Leader in Parliament, has issued a stern warning to Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, citing potential legal consequences over his failure to present the 2025 mini budget.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, Forson described the Minister’s absence as deeply concerning and a breach of constitutional obligations.
“The absence of the Finance Minister is deeply troubling, especially given the nation’s ongoing economic difficulties. His failure to present the mini budget is not just a procedural lapse; it is an affront to the principles of transparency and accountability,” Forson stated.
He urged the Speaker of Parliament to take immediate steps to compel Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, to appear before the House and address the situation.
The Minority Leader’s remarks have fueled criticism of the Finance Minister and the outgoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, with many accusing them of shirking their responsibilities in addressing Ghana’s pressing economic challenges.
The failure to present the mini budget, a critical fiscal roadmap, has heightened tensions as the country grapples with economic uncertainty.
