2025 Budget: Let’s ensure our debates are informed by candour and the plight of Ghanaians – Gideon Boako to MPs

In a call for transparency and empathy, Gideon Boako, the spokesperson for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, urged Members of Parliament to approach discussions surrounding the 2025 budget with sincerity and a deep awareness of the challenges faced by Ghanaians. During a recent interview, Boako emphasized that debates should not merely be political exercises but should reflect genuine concern for the welfare of citizens grappling with economic hardships. He highlighted the importance of incorporating constructive suggestions that resonate with the realities of everyday life in Ghana. Boako's remarks come at a critical time as lawmakers prepare to scrutinize fiscal policies aimed at addressing pressing national issues. He stressed that MPs must prioritize solutions that uplift communities and foster national development, rather than engaging in partisan bickering. By focusing on informed discourse rooted in authenticity, Boako believes Parliament can play a crucial role in crafting effective strategies that respond to the needs of Ghanaians and ultimately contribute to national progress.
