Dr Bawumia breaks it all down to the bottom line

Dr Bawumia breaks it all down to
the bottom line, "In the final
analysis, the issues that matter to
the Ghanaian people as far as the
2015 budget is concerned are as
follows:
1. Will the budget grow the
economy? No
2. Will the budget create Jobs? No
3. Will the budget reduce the cost
of doing business? No
4. Will the budget reduce the cost
of living and suffering? No
5. Will the budget provide better
conditions of service for teachers,
nurses, doctors, civil servants and
workers in general? No
6. Will the budget allow workers to
select their own Tier 2 Pension
Fund Managers and account for the
deductions made? No
7. Will the budget restore the
allowances of teacher and nursing
trainees? No
8. Will the budget end load-
shedding (Dumsor -Dumsor)? No
9. Will the budget stop the high
level of corruption? No
10. Will the budget help transform
the economy? No
If the 2015 budget cannot answer
any of the above questions in the
affirmative, then it may just be
meaningless to the ordinary
Ghanaian. At the end of the day if
the fundamental problems with the
economy are not dealt with, then
there remains a threat to
macroeconomic stability going
forward."
