Gideon Boako flags ‘blatant falsehood’ in 2026 Budget figures

Tano North MP, Gideon Boako, has criticised what he describes as inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the 2026 Budget, accusing the Finance Minister of presenting misleading figures.

In his contribution to the debate on the floor of Parliament, he questioned why the budget claimed GH¢63 billion had been spent on the Big Push when, according to official appendices, the actual expenditure was far lower.

“If you present your budget with a blatant falsehood… why won’t they be unhappy with you?” he asked.

Dr. Boako argued that such discrepancies undermine trust and frustrate ministries whose budgeted allocations were never honoured.

“If you programmed to spend an amount on education and you end up giving them less, why won’t they be unhappy?” he queried, pointing to similar issues in the roads and teacher trainee education sectors.

He also criticised the government for allocating insufficient resources for infrastructure development, particularly roads.

“If you programmed to release funds for roads infrastructure and you end up giving my good senior Abodjah a paltry amount, why won’t he be angry?” he said.

The MP highlighted how teacher trainees were suffering due to inadequate funding for their feeding.

“If you end up releasing just a pittance, denying the trainees the opportunity of a three-square meal a day, why won’t the Hon. Haruna Iddrisu be angry?” he added.

He concluded by urging the Finance Minister to be transparent and consistent with budget figures to restore public confidence.

“The safest ship is the one anchored at the port, but the best ship is the one set on sail. Ghana’s economic ship must be set sail now,” he said.
