Parliament’s Deputy Minority Spokesperson on Finance, Dr. Mark Asibey Yaboah has rated government’s economic performance in 2014, \u2018D\u2019.<\/p>\n
According to him, government failed to meet many of its set targets in the year under review.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we see is that government is still in arrears, school feeding contractors are not being paid, health insurance is bleeding, GETFUND is in arrears all our road projects the major ones are in limbo so I will give government a D on 2014,\u201d he told Citi News<\/strong> Richard Dela Sky in an interview.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”LwsetdjFzNawxYnfq0Aw3x94HLzHKrvQ”]Dr. Osei-Asibey who is also the New Juabeng South \u00a0Member of Parliament (MP) argued that \u201cthe government sought to rationalize expenditures, we haven\u2019t seen that, it sought to mobilize revenue, we haven\u2019t seen that, it sought to streamline wages we haven\u2019t seen that, there were proposed structural reforms, we haven\u2019t seen all of that and government is still in arrears.”<\/p>\n “It can\u2019t do the needed investment it seeks to do, the gas infrastructure project has not come fully onboard. The western corridor roads have\u00a0 stalled because the CDB loan has not come in. so in effect the things government proposes to do in 2014 it has not been able to do,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n However, the Minister of Finance, Seth Terkper is expected to present the 2015 budget to the 275-member Legislature on Wednesday<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
