Minority leader, Cassiel Ato Forson, has described Ghana’s economy as being on autopilot.
He expressed disappointment in the Finance Minister, Dr Mohammed Amin Adams' mid-year review, stating that no new policies or ideas were introduced.
Speaking on the floor of parliament on July 23, he said, “Mr Speaker, this is a missed opportunity. The minister did not announce one single new policy. The minister did not introduce new ideas. Mr Speaker, unfortunately, Ghana is on autopilot. Our economy is on autopilot.”
The minority leader also stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) lacked new ideas.
According to him, Ghanaians expected that the mid-year review would lead to the abolition of several taxes.
He said that the numerous taxes have made Ghana a high-tax regime, causing businesses to move out of the country and ordinary Ghanaians have left the country.
The minority leader specifically mentioned taxes such as the COVID levy, e-levy, trash tax, and tax on domestic levies.
