The Minority Caucus has criticized the government over what it describes as the lack of tangible improvements in the living conditions of Ghanaians despite recent economic indicators showing declining inflation.
Speaking on behalf of the caucus, Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei, said the government’s promises of a “national reset” have not reflected in basic service delivery across the country.
“Despite the NDC’s promises of a national reset, basic service delivery remains unchanged,” she stated.
According to the Minority, several critical sectors continue to face challenges, including delays in school feeding grants, persistent arrears under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), and inadequate teaching materials in schools.
“NHIS arrears persist, school feeding grants delayed, teaching materials remain inadequate,” Patricia Appiagyei said.
The caucus also questioned the government’s tax policies, describing its approach to taxation as incoherent.
While acknowledging that inflation has dropped to single digits, the Minority argued that ordinary Ghanaians are yet to experience any real relief in their daily lives.
“Although inflation has dropped to single digit, Ghanaian families are yet to feel the impact or tangible improvement in their daily lives,” she added.
The Minority says it will continue to push for policies that directly improve the welfare of citizens.
“The Minority will continue to press for policies that translate into real improvements in household incomes, market prices and standard of living,” Patricia Appiagyei stressed.
