The Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, has lauded the just-ended government’s budget presented by the the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson for its swift implementation of campaign promises and its focus on economic growth and social reforms.

Speaking on the floor Parliament on Tuesday, March 11, Mr Ayariga praised the budget, emphasising that it reflects a government and political party committed to fulfilling its pledges.

"This clearly is a budget of a government and a party that keeps its promises," he said, highlighting the fact that nearly every promise made by former President John Dramani Mahama is being fulfilled in the first 120 days.

Mr Ayariga further described the budget as one designed to benefit ordinary Ghanaians, saying, "This budget is a budget for 'Makola' [Market] women, this budget is a budget for assembly members, this budget is a budget for girls."

He argued that the budget's focus on practical reforms would have a direct positive impact on key segments of society, especially those who are often overlooked in traditional economic strategies.

"This is a budget that delivered solid reforms," Mr Ayariga continued. "This is a budget that is moving our growth from galamsey growth to real growth."

The Bawku Central MP also expressed optimism about the budget’s potential to bring stability to the economy, create jobs, and provide hope for Ghanaians.

"This is a budget that gives hope to Ghanaians. This is a budget that will stabilise the economy. This is a budget that will create jobs for the youth of this country," Mr Ayariga affirmed.
