The majority side in parliament has failed to show up in their numbers for the commencement of the 2023 budget debate. At the time the Speaker gave the guidelines for the commencement of the debate, only 21 Members of Parliament were seated on the Majority side of the house. Members of Parliament (MPs) have commenced debate on the 2023 budget statement. This comes after the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, appeared before the house in fulfillment of his constitutional mandate by presenting the government budget to the house. In a year that has seen some of the worst economic downturns in the fourth republic, the minister presented the 2023 budget statement and economic policy to parliament.
