The National Democratic Congress (NDC) On Wednesday, November 20, 2019 will hold a public forum on the 2020 Budget Statement and Financial Estimates.

The forum according to a statement signed by the National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi will analyze and interprete the declaration by the financial minister, Ken Ofori-Atta last week.

“As a responsible Political Party and a government in waiting, we shall use this platform to constructively dissect and expose the several distortions contained in the Budget and justify why it must fast-track the exit of the deceptive, insensitive, corrupt, nepotistic and non-performing Akufo-Addo government”, the statement said.

Among speakers at the forum will be the Member of Parliament for the Ketu South constituency and former Minister for Transport, Fifi Kwetey; Cassiel Ato Forson, member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam constituency in the Central Region and a former Deputy Finance Minister who is also a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament. And then there is Isaac Adongo, MP for Bolgatanga Central constituency in the Upper East Region and is a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament.
