'Azonto' Budget Had No Message; It Only Got People Dancing - Ayariga

The founder and leader of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has rubbished the government's 2018 ‘Adwuma’ Budget, describing it as an empty one which has nothing to offer for the ordinary Ghanaian.

Addressing a press conference at the APC's headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, Ayariga said that the budget lacks any meaningful policies for job creation of young people.

He further accused the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta of concocting figures and not putting the reality on the ground.

For Mr Ayariga, “The ‘Azonto’ budget only got the unsuspecting Ghanaians dancing on that Wednesday”.

He indicated that the economy is in disarray, with one of the results being an increment in fuel prices.
