Account for GH¢650bn allocated to existing programmes before new economy – Oppong Nkrumah to gov’t

According to him, Parliament allocated about GH¢650 billion to support the government’s various economic programmes, including the 24-hour economy, the One Million Coders programme, the Women’s Development Bank and Nkokonkitinkiti, among others.

Ranking Member on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has urged the government to account for funds allocated to its existing economic programmes before introducing a proposed “new economy” in the 2027 Budget.

He also raised concerns about the One Million Coders programme, the Women’s Development Bank and other initiatives, arguing that the government had not provided sufficient evidence of the results achieved.
