Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken a swipe at the MPs on the Majority side of Parliament who left for Qatar to watch the world cup.
Mr. Mahama described it as unprecedented dereliction of duty in the history of Ghana.
Speaking at the 13th Congregation of the Accra Business School on Saturday, December 3, 2022, he said “In the wake of all these disturbing happenings, government MPs and cabinet ministers seem to have no interest in appearing as the people’s representatives to debate the government’s own budget for 2023. Many have rather chosen and have been permitted to go on vacation to go and cheer the Black Stars.
“Only a handful of MPs on the minority side have shown up in Parliament this week to participate in the budget debate and defend the policy choices therein. I dare say never has a government shown disinterest in working on its own budget at a time of great economic crisis and suffering, during which utmost seriousness and urgency are required to address the problems that we face.
“This represents an unprecedented dereliction of duty and responsibility, and I think the President must be putting his foot down on this.”
