Ghanaian Parliament: Heated Debate Over Broken Government Promises

Ghanaian Parliament Erupts as Minority Leader Exposes Unfulfilled Government Promises Ghana's Parliament witnessed a heated exchange on June 3, 2025, as the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, confronted the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, over several unfulfilled government promises. The debate focused on three key areas: the Women's Banking initiative, agricultural funding, and the 24-hour economy plan. Iddrisu highlighted the government's failure to allocate sufficient funds for agriculture, stating, "They allocated 1.5 billion cedis, but 900 million went to compensation, leaving nothing for agriculture." He also criticized the slow progress of the Women's Banking policy, noting the paltry 50 million cedis allocated despite significant promises. The lack of concrete action on the 24-hour economy plan was another point of contention. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu responded by defending the government's actions, but his arguments failed to fully address the concerns raised by the Minority Leader. The debate underscores the growing concerns about government accountability and the need for transparency in policy implementation. The incident highlights the ongoing tension within Ghana's political landscape and the importance of fulfilling promises to the electorate.
