Okudzeto Ablakwa argued it does not address the pain, hardship, and suffering of the Ghanaian people and warned it is actually going to worsen an already bad situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuel prices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The North Tongu legislator expressed disappointment a review on petroleum products was not mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned why Ghana has the highest diesel and petrol prices in the sub-region; higher than Togo, Benin, and Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9389\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FINANCE-MINISTER-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FINANCE-MINISTER-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/FINANCE-MINISTER.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This situation, he said, has created an unhealthy opportunity for people to smuggle fuel across the borders to survive.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWhy can\u2019t we review the taxes on petroleum products? When you do that, transport fares and food prices will go down and trigger a certain reduction in the prices of other goods and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ablakwa also condemned the 2.5% increment in VAT at a time when inflation is in excess of 40% and Ghanaians struggling to eke a living, especially under President Akufo-Addo who opposed VAT and led a demonstration that caused the death of people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expenditure cuts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The North Tongu lawmaker contended that the government\u2019s ban on hampers and diaries as a measure to cut down expenditure is a very feeble attempt.<\/p>\n<p>He argued the amount going to be saved from the ban is not substantial compared to some big ticket items like the many secretariats at the presidency that are needless.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned why the President still keeps a COVID-19 secretariat, which in 2021 spent more than GH\u00a212.6 million on just salaries, goods, and services when the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health exist for such purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you create a Special Development Initiative (SDI) secretariat at the presidency when we have been told that the SDI Ministry has collapsed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2021 Auditor-General\u2019s report reveals that their budget on goods and services and on salaries and compensations has ballooned from less than a million cedis to GH\u00a2358 million. So these are the big ticket expenditures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Okudzeto Ablakwa also described as ridiculous the government ban on the use of V8 vehicles within the capital and argued a cut in the expenditure of the President\u2019s travels with \u20ac20,000 an hour chartered jets would have been more meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, he expected to hear a direct concrete ban on chartered jet travel by the President and argued the administration is conveniently avoiding the big-ticket issues.<\/p>\n<p>The size of government, he said, is another area that a huge expenditure cut could be affected by reducing the number of ministers and queried, \u201cWhy are they afraid to reduce the number of bureaucracies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we need the Middle and Coastal Development Authorities? What are all of those when you have regional coordinating councils and the MMDAs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we speak, district assembly\u2019s common fund is in arrears for six quarters. So you are killing the district assemblies and then you\u2019re creating other bureaucracies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not impressed with the efforts to cut down expenditure because it is not far-reaching and deep and will not make any substantial impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has appealed to the Majority New Patriotic Party (NPP) to support the Minority [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9388,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[2300],"class_list":["post-9387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","tag-gloom-doom-budget-ablakwa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
