The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cited the 2022 budget as one of the many reasons why Ghanaians should celebrate the Christmas festivities this year.
In a Christmas message published on its website, the governing party noted that next year’s budget dubbed “Agyenkwa budget” is one that provides a path for the country towards transforming the economy for the better.
The statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, John Boadu noted that Ghana is confronted with several challenges as a result of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.
However, the government, led by President Akufo-Addo has demonstrated that it has what it takes to change the misfortunes of citizens.
The party acknowledged that Ghana is challenged by an eagerness for urgent solutions to the problems confronting the people which have been exacerbated by the socio-economic impact of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.
“The Party however takes consolation in the fact that the government, ably led by President Akufo-Addo, has amply demonstrated the wherewithal in tackling the very challenges confronting the ordinary Ghanaian. It used the occasion to urge all well-to-do Ghanaians, particularly Christians, to recall the reason for the season, which is Christ Jesus, and show love and offer a helping hand to the needy as the Christian doctrine prescribes. The party prayed that “this Christmas ends the year on a cheerful note and makes way for a brighter and more prosperous New Year”.
