Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta is expected in parliament to answer some questions that will cover the government’s indebtedness and expenditure, and funding of Free Senior High School among others.
These clarifications are at the behest of the Minority as eight of the 10 questions stand in the name of National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs including former Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and two in the name of New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs. The Minority also holds the view that there should be more expenditure cuts by the government, hence the summon.
Mr. Ofori-Atta is expected to answer questions on some government indebtedness to Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). Meanwhile, MP for Tamale South, Iddrisu Haruna, wants to know the extent of the government’s indebtedness.
Meanwhile, the Finance Minister is yet to arrive before the house.
While in wait, the House is currently in a closed sitting considering the GETFund allocation formula.
