Spokesperson on Finance for the Minority Mr. Cassiel Ato Forson says the Minority will resist any attempt by the government to spend recklessly because they think that the implication on the economy will be severe. The Finance Minister told parliamentarians that, the release, was consistent with global policy responses of central banks with large scale asset purchases to provide support to manage the pandemic. The government he explained should have done reprogramming of their budget as being done by other countries. The president he opined should have also reduced his number of ministers as part of efforts to deal with the impact of the coronavirus on the economy.
