The legislative arm of government (Parliament) has approved some GH¢ 98 billion to cover all government expenses for the 2020 fiscal year.
The House, through a majority vote, approved the said amount for government spending in an election year.
The approved amount for all government expenses is to be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund.The approval of the GH¢ 98 billion was met with some controversies as the Minority in Parliament threatened to withdraw its support till the Electoral Commission’s (EC) budget for the compilation of a new Voters Register was discarded. The EC’s budget is expected to be put before the House later.
