Minority members of Parliament have in their usual approach after the presentation of financial policy statement, pooh-poohed Government\u2019s 2016 Budget delivered on Friday; describing it as a \u201cdead goat budget\u201d.<\/p>\n

The minority members as they have done in previous years, were carrying sheets of papers with the inscription \u201cdead goat budget\u201d immediately after Mr. Seth Terkper, the Finance Minister, \u00a0concluded his delivery.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdead goat\u201d phrase, became synonymous with President Mahama, after he made the comment to suggest that he was not moved by criticisms about his performance any longer.<\/p>\n

\"Dead<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps describing the budget statement as a \u201cdead goat budget\u201d, is the Minority’s way of showing their disapproval of the budget.<\/p>\n

\"Dead<\/a><\/p>\n

Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu in seconding a motion moved by the Majority Leader Alban Bagbin on the floor of Parliament to bring Friday\u2019s proceedings to a close said \u201cIn seconding the motion, I just want to observe that the Finance Minister\u2019s presentation was full of perspiration but very little inspiration. A trust-betrayed budget; a dead-goat budget offering no relief to Ghanaians\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

But Hon. Mensah-Bonsu\u2019s specific response to the content of the budget was truncated by the Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Doe Adjaho, who reminded him of breaking the rules of the house.<\/p>\n

The house has adjourned and will return on Friday November 20, to continue the business of the house which will include a debate of the budget.<\/p>\n
