Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has shot down claims that the New Patriotic Party government has been reckless in spending.
The presidential candidate of the party insisted that the Nana Addo-led administration has used our resources judiciously to initiate projects that would benefit the country in the long run.
He made the remarks while speaking at the 8th Ghana CEOs Summit in Accra on Monday, May 27, 2024.
This was in response to comments made by former President John Dramani Mahama at the same event.
He promised to reduce government expenditure between 3 and 5 percent if he were elected president.
He also pledged to run a government with 50 ministers to help cut down on expenditures and save the public purse.
“The networking of the hospitals—you know, Ghana.gov—all of these things have been spearheaded. So the government is not uploading and spending upfront. And I want us to apply this model.
“My view, as I have stated, is that let us bring down government expenditure between 3 to 5 percent. I believe that I can run a government with 50 ministers rather than what we are doing today.”
