Fokuo slams budget for all talk and no plan for youth

Manso Nkwanta lawmaker Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo has criticized Ghana's 2026 Budget for relying on appealing forecasts without sufficient implementation strategies to advance the economy. During parliamentary debate, the MP argued the financial plan presents numbers but lacks workable approaches to tackle the nation's urgent economic challenges, depending instead on aspirations rather than concrete action steps.

Fokuo maintained that the budget fails to reflect ordinary Ghanaians' needs or encourage innovation and human capital growth. He urged authorities to prioritize sustainable job creation, particularly for youth, emphasizing that consistent employment initiatives are vital for supporting the expanding young demographic.
