Tamale South Member of Parliament Haruna Iddrisu has strongly criticized the 2024 Mid-Year Budget, arguing that it shows no signs of economic recovery.

He believes that Ghanaians should prepare for significant hardship because the budget fails to address the country's challenges effectively.

In an interview with Onua TV, Iddrisu likened the 2024 Mid-Year Budget to a fragile artifact, suggesting that it is as flimsy as a house built with saliva that could be easily destroyed by morning dew.

"The Mid-Year budget is like a house built with saliva which can easily be destroyed by morning dew."

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, presented the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

This is in accordance with Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921) which requires the minister to provide the mid-year fiscal policy review of the Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the government.

The minister touched on a number of issues including economic and fiscal performance for the first half of the year, growth measures, revenue, expenditure performance, financing, and debt sustainability.

This presentation was also crucial as the country heads to the polls on December 7, 2024, with the government expected to spend within its budget.
