Despite the economic hardships Ghanaians complain about, the government has categorically stated that its hard work has made 2019 a rather good year for the citizenry.
Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has touted the government’s achievement over what he says is the significant economic gains the government has achieved in terms of employment, agriculture, businesses and other sectors of the economy.
Presenting the 2020 Budget Statement on the Floor of Parliament on Wednesday, Mr. Ofori-Atta said economic data collected show that the government’s commitment to improving the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian has now become crystal clear and yielding positive results.
“2019 has been a very good year for Ghana. God’s blessings of our hard work are beginning to manifest…We have quietly but incontestable, achieved significant structural changes for the country. We have delivered on our flagship programs. The gains made so far are significant and indeed to the glory of God. On May 1, 2017, I had the opportunity to present the budget statement to this House. The economy was in bad shape. Growth in agriculture was slowing…unemployment was rising and businesses and households were working mainly to pay bills.”
