'Talk more, do little government' - Minority Caucus to government

The Minority in Parliament has criticised the government’s 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, describing the administration as a “talk more, do little” government and accusing it of failing to deliver on its promises.

Speaking after the Finance Minister presented the Mid-Year Budget Review on July 23,2026, the Minority said the document confirmed concerns they had raised about the 2026 Budget, arguing that it contained more promises than tangible results.

According to the Minority, the government’s own data contradicts its claims of economic progress, insisting that many of the challenges facing Ghanaians remain unresolved.

“They’ve been bringing excuses all the time. After eight months in government, they are still blaming the previous administration. Ghanaians voted for them to deliver, not to keep shifting blame,” the Minority said.

The opposition also questioned what it described as inconsistencies in the government’s reserve projections.

The Minority noted that when Parliament approved the government’s Accelerated Reserve Management Policy, the Finance Minister projected Ghana’s gross international reserves would rise to 8.6 months of import cover by the end of 2026.

However, they pointed out that the Mid-Year Budget Review now reports reserves at three months of import cover, raising concerns about the significant difference.

“How can 8.6 months of import cover all of a sudden become three months of import cover?,” the Minority questioned, calling on the Finance Minister to explain the discrepancy.

The Minority said it would continue to scrutinise the government’s figures and hold the administration accountable for what it described as unfulfilled promises and inconsistencies in economic management.
