Minority in Ghana’s Parliament has expressed concern about the current state of the economy, citing rising living costs and increasing pressure on households across the country.
At a press conference in Accra, Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, said many Ghanaians are struggling to cope with high prices of food, fuel, and utilities, despite government assurances of economic recovery.
He argued that recent fiscal measures have not translated into real relief for ordinary citizens and called for policies that directly address inflation and unemployment.
The Minority also raised questions about public debt management, urging the government to provide clear timelines and details on efforts to stabilize the economy and restore investor confidence.
On governance, the Minority stressed the need for stronger accountability systems to ensure efficient use of public resources, adding that Parliament must be allowed to exercise its oversight role without interference.
They further touched on national security and electoral preparedness, calling on state institutions to remain professional and impartial ahead of future elections.
The Minority reaffirmed its commitment to protecting democratic principles and ensuring that the voices of citizens are reflected in national decision-making.
