The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has accused the Minority in Parliament of waging a campaign of misinformation against the 2025 budget.
Speaking during parliamentary proceedings on Wednesday, he alleged that the opposition was deliberately distorting facts in an attempt to discredit the government’s fiscal plan.
“Our colleagues on the other side know that the Finance Minister has provided evidence of mismanagement of the economy in the eight years that they were in power.
They have begun to wage a campaign of misinformation with the view to demonising this budget. Many speakers on their side have made claims that are untrue about allocations in this budget made to the Office of the President and Office of Government Machinery,” he stated.
One of the key areas of contention has been the over GH¢70 million allocated to Government Communications, a figure the Minority has strongly criticized.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu also touched on the state of national security, blaming the opposition for the challenges facing the country.
“One of the grievous problems facing this nation is security. The government inherited the sector as the most peaceful nation in Africa. Armed robbery is going up, and worst of all, galamsey has created serious insecurity in this country,” he noted.
He warned that if the opposition continues its approach, it could lead to bigger challenges.
“He should be careful what he is doing, otherwise we may be having a bigger problem on our hands,” he cautioned.
The budget debate remains heated, with the Minority standing firm in its concerns over government spending while the Majority defends its economic policies.
