Business News of Thursday, 1 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comIn 2019, Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta sought Parliament’s permission to allow government access the Heritage Fund to help fight COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Speaking on Asempa FM’s ‘Ekoosii Sen’ show, Stephen Manteaw described the move as an act of ‘irresponsibility’. According to him, the savings made from that move could be used to deal with the virus instead of taking money from the Heritage Fund. He maintained that the minority will resist any attempt by government to use part of the Heritage Fund. You cannot have a system with all those bloated Presidential Staffers feeding on the purse of government… I support any decision to cap the stabilisation fund… [but] any attempt to eat into the Heritage Fund, we shall resist it vehemently,” he said.
