Adongo described Ken Ofori-Atta’s mid-year budget assessment as a “funeral dirge.”

He claimed that because the budget was a dirge, the lawmakers who were yelling “Yeah Yeah” were dozing off.

The funeral dirge was played for us all to hear. I eventually had to ask them to get out of bed and pay attention to the man.

“So, they were sleeping when they finally stood up and said, “Yeah Yeah. I was therefore shocked when they abruptly awoke and began shouting even though they hadn’t heard the man speak, Adongo stated.

After facing tremendous economic difficulties in 2022, Ken Ofori-Atta, who delivered the budget presentation, stated that Ghana is currently making modest progress in reviving its economy.
