Finance Minister Must Be Open With Ghanaians – Speaker Alban Bagbin

Speaker of Parliament

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, wants the government to be open and candid with Ghanaians as its negotiation with the International Monetary Fund nears completion.

Mr. Bagbin said the government must bring all Ghanaians on board to find solutions to the challenges.

The Speaker of Parliament said the Finance Ministry must show openness in all its dealings.

He stated that, “the absence of openness and transparency can lead to suspicion and a profound sense of despair and hopelessness. It is in this regard that I call on the Ministry of Finance to muster the courage and to speak truth to power”.

The government is currently seeking $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to support the economy.

The government sought the International Monetary Fund’s support months after being urged by the opposition to do so amid worsening inflation and forex challenges.
