The Minority in Parliament, led by the former Minister of Finance Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, asserted that the current government has made a conscious choice to trade tomorrow’s economic output for today’s accounting optics, creating a growthless, jobless economy that has spectacularly failed to deliver on its core promises of transformation and prosperity.
According to him, the current lower levels of inflation has rather imposed enormous strain on the people of Ghana because the government did not address inflation from the supply side- “the demand side approach to inflation has ensured suppressed aggregate demand. The Bank of Ghana has admitted that as at August 2025, they had withdrawn GHS60 billion from the market to control inflation. This obviously comes at a cost, whilst the withdrawal of liquidity has dried up the pockets of Ghanaians”.
Addressing Journalists in Accra on the 2026 Budget on 14th November 2025, Dr. Amin accused the Government of systematically under-spending the investment budget that Parliament approved and that “Ghana has made itself approximately US$469 million poorer in 2025 alone and permanently lost future growth capacity, creating an illusion of fiscal prudence built entirely on postponed progress and abandoned promises”.
He said, Farmers across the nation – from Techiman to Tamale, Ho, and many other parts of Ghana – cannot sell their produce as demand evaporates. Traders from Makola to Kejetia complain that people are not buying their goods.
“In fact, let me remind traders across the country that this coming Christmas, if you don’t sell to your expectation, know that it is because the NDC government withdrew GHS60 billion from the market just to achieve a single-digit inflation and impoverish you.
Minoty said, “You are no longer a matter of concern to this government; they have forgotten about you after getting power from you. That is why their priority has shifted to the use of the recent helicopter accident involving some of our gallant citizens as cover to procure 2 jets, 4 helicopters, and 2 offshore patrol vessels. This is going to cost our country US$1.2 billion. The government must come clear why the purchase of 2 Executive Jets is a priority at the time it is asking Ghanaian workers to sacrifice more”.
