Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has disclosed that his caucus lowered itself to accommodate the Majority caucus with regard to the 2022 budget but was paid back with disdain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved an extra mile to contain them, even to help them consolidate fiscally while we call for prudent expenditure [but] they just dismissed us with disrespect\u201d, Mr Iddrisu told journalists on Wednesday, adding: \u201cNow, we matter and we\u2019ll matter in the coming days\u201d.<\/p>\n

As far as a quorum for the passage or rejection of the budget is concerned, Mr Iddrisu said: \u201cIf it is not raised, because we are master of our procedure, business goes on\u201d.<\/p>\n

With the number of MPs needed for voting, too, he said: \u201cBecause we are masters of own procedure under article 110, business goes on but they don\u2019t walk out\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking about why the Majority caucus walked out of the house on Friday, Mr Iddrisu wondered: \u201cWalkout, what does it mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not happy\u201d, he answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe they [Majority] are expressing disappointment at their own budget with a walkout\u201d, he surmised, explaining: \u201cThat is what it could mean other than avoiding the debate\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Minority Leader also described as \u201claughable\u201d, a scheduled press conference by the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you approve a budget, leak the Votes and Proceedings and say that this budget is approved subject to concessions? The budget as was laid by Ken Ofori-Atta and read on behalf of the President pursuant to article 179 was not accompanied by concessions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not galamsey rights that he is to grant. What concessions?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, they simply must have accepted that a certain revision of the original budget was necessary for us, for the good of the country to stand together\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
