According Ato Forson, the budget read showed that there were so many inconsistencies. He pointed out a sum of 22 billion cedis which wasn\u2019t part of the earlier read budget of November 2021 and wondered where it was coming from. According to Ato Forson, the failure of the government to amend her ways will affect Ghanaians negatively.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/f99cdca02adf4d8b94e3fdfec0f6279a\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that teachers, nurses, students and self-employed people are all suffering. He added that MPs are even suffering. To make matters worse, he posited that even Mr Speaker is suffering as a result of bad management. This sent the whole chamber into laughter as Alban Bagbin couldn\u2019t help but laugh. Ato Forson called on the Majority to lay down their tools if they can\u2019t manage the country.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/75658008be93423e87961f28ef3967bd\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Aton Forson ended with clapping from his colleagues on the Minority side.
