The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is bewildered by "wasteful" spending by the government being run by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

While delivering the "True State of the Nation's Address" on Monday, National Chairman of the Party, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, listed a number of items the government spends a significant amount of taxpayers' money on.

Below is how much government allegedly spends and what it spends on:

President's operational enhancement expenditure - GHS59.4m

Fuel Bills at the Presidency - GHS51.1m

President Akufo-Addo’s regional tour last year - GHS16.9m

Tyres and batteries for official vehicles at the Presidency - GHS15m

A cabinet retreat outside Accra - GHS4.8m

Payment for new vehicles - GHS6.5m

Payment for networking and ICT equipment - GHS6.6m

Independence Day celebration in the Central Region - GHS10.4m

Telecommunications and data service from January to September - GHS20m

Office furniture - GHS7m

"Another reasons for Ghana's economic collapse is the expenditure on the bloated size of government. Further evidence on the waste of taxes can be seen in the many needless political appointees at the Presidency in the midst of the worst economic crisis in living memory," Mr Asiedu Nketiah added.
