Prove where you’ve cut costs in your budget – Oppong Nkrumah challenges govt - MyJoyOnline

Opposition leader Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has called on the government to transparently demonstrate where it has made cuts in its budget. During a recent press conference, Nkrumah emphasized that in light of the current economic challenges facing the nation, it is crucial for the government to provide clear evidence of fiscal prudence. He argued that citizens deserve to see how public funds are being managed and allocated, especially given widespread concerns about rising living costs and inflation.

Nkrumah criticized the administration for not adequately addressing these issues and urged officials to detail specific areas where savings have been realized. He believes that without this transparency, public trust will continue to erode, further complicating efforts to rally support for necessary economic reforms. The call for accountability comes as many Ghanaians express dissatisfaction with their financial situations amid ongoing economic hardships. As debates surrounding budget management intensify, Nkrumah's challenge serves as a reminder of the importance of fiscal responsibility in governance and its impact on everyday citizens' lives.
