Did Bawumia join a debate on any of Akufo-Addo's budgets? - Adongo berates minority

In a recent statement, Minority Member of Parliament, Isaac Adongo, criticized Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia for not engaging in debates regarding the national budgets presented by President Nana Akufo-Addo. Adongo highlighted that Bawumia's silence during these crucial discussions reflects a lack of accountability and engagement on significant economic issues affecting the country. He emphasized that as the head of the Economic Management Team, Bawumia should be actively participating in debates to defend government policies and budget allocations.

Adongo expressed concern that such absence undermines the government's transparency and responsiveness to public scrutiny. He urged Bawumia to step forward and engage constructively with opposition members rather than remaining passive during budget reviews that have profound implications for citizens’ lives. This criticism comes at a time when many are calling for greater dialogue on economic management amidst rising living costs and fiscal challenges in Ghana. The debate over budgetary priorities is critical as it shapes financial strategies aimed at fostering sustainable development and improving the welfare of Ghanaians.
