Account For The GHS 650 Billion Before Seeking Another GHS 110 Billion — Minority Tells Mahama

According to recent reports from Kojo Anane Sonkondo, Official Facebook Post, 19 October, 2026 says, The Minority in Parliament has called on the Mahama administration to provide a full accounting for GHS 650 billion previously allocated for economic development before seeking approval for an additional GHS 110 billion under its proposed “New Economy” framework.

Speaking for the Minority Caucus’ Finance Committee, Ofoase-Ayirebi MP Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah asserted that the government must demonstrate financial transparency regarding past spending.

He questioned the tangible progress of several high-profile flagship policies, including the 24-Hour Economy agenda, the Nkokonkitinkiti initiative, and the One Million Coders Programme, arguing that despite substantial resource allocations, many promised outcomes remain incomplete or underperforming.

Oppong Nkrumah maintained that accountability must serve as a prerequisite for future fiscal approvals. As the administration prepares to approach Parliament for GHS 110 billion to finance its “New Economy” initiative, the opposition insists that lawmakers and the public deserve clear metrics and financial details on how prior funds were utilized.

The confrontation underscores Parliament’s constitutional duty to oversee public spending and safeguard taxpayer funds. Political analysts note that disputes over government expenditure frequently trigger intense public debate, as citizens increasingly demand fiscal responsibility and transparency amid national economic challenges.

With upcoming parliamentary sessions set to address the new funding request, the Minority remains firm that full financial disclosure regarding the GHS 650 billion must precede any deliberation on new budgetary allocations. This standoff is expected to intensify political debate surrounding the Mahama administration’s economic management in the weeks ahead.
