Hon. Gabriel Asirifi, said the budget has no choice than to transform the economy taking into cognisance the short time for the President's term of office to elapse, and ensure victory for his re-election. Hon Asirifi was speaking in an interview with Rainbow Radio International on his expectations of the budget. He said, He disagreed to the notion of the non-performance of the President explaining that, the economic conditions the NDC inherited from the previous administration should be blamed for the current economic woes.
