The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta has described the achievements chalked by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, ten months into their tenure given how little the previous administration had\u00a0left in the nation’s coffers as a “miracle.”<\/p>\n

Ken Ofori Atta, reading the government’s budget and policy statement today [Wednesday] for 2018, listed a number of programmes undertaken by the administration since they came into office.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”o9oAvrm91xqZKsdn3czH3uDmqNmyPcEb”]He spoke about government’s introduction of the free senior high school policy,\u00a0which began in September<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, the restoration of the allowances for trainee\u00a0teachers and nurses.<\/p>\n

The government has also announced that at least\u00a0<\/a>173 factories<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are in the process of being rolled out, as part of its ‘One District, One Factory’ programme, while the\u00a0\u00a0National ID Card<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and National Digital Property Addressing System<\/strong><\/a><\/span> were recently rolled out.<\/p>\n

According to the Finance Minister, despite the precarious position in which the Mahama government had left the economy, the government had succeeded in implementing a number of the targets, whilst others were set to take off.<\/p>\n

“With the little inherited from the Mahama Government, our performance these ten months are indeed nothing less than a miracle as evidenced by the blessings and achievements I have just enumerated,” he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Members of the Minority raised pieces of papers with ‘419’ scribbled on them, a suggestion that the government had put out deceptive information, as they had done at the budget reading in March 2017.<\/p>\n

However, the Finance Minister took the heckling in his stride, and quoting the Bible, alluded to the fact that the sacrifices and efforts of the government had been rewarded with success.<\/p>\n

“In my debut appearance in this august House, my backbencher friends across the aisle traded Bible quotations with me, as I invoked the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves of bread, and three fishes (Mathew 13), they responded with Philippians 4:19 \u201cAnd my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I can only add that the combination of Philippians 4:19, and Mathew 13, hard work and obedience have greatly benefited our dear country.”<\/p>\n
