The Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) has predicted that 2016 will be “one of the difficult years” because the government has an uninspiring budget and financial statement. Prof. Kusi opined there was “nothing” positive about the 2016 budget. “In 2016, we will be seeking another mandate to lead the development process of our beloved country. The Government will require support from this august House and cooperation of the good people of Ghana as we are resolute in our drive towards providing a better Ghana for us all. We believe that this budget provides yet another opportunity for all of us to work hand in hand to achieve the objectives we have set for ourselves,” he noted.
