Terkper to present mid-year budget
Ghana’s Finance Minister Seth Terkper is
expected to present the mid-year budget review to
Parliament on Friday, July 22, 2016.

According to Starr News’ Parliamentary
correspondent Kobby Gomez-Mensah, the notice was
communicated to members by the deputy Majority
Leader Alfred Agbesi.

However, he said the event is likely to be
postponed to Monday, July 25, 2016 “following a
protest that was put in by the Minority Leader,
Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.

According to the Minority Leader, since the
mid-year review of the budget will coincide with
the funeral ceremony of the late MP for Abetifi,
Peter Wiafe Pepra, it would be appropriate to
postpone or reschedule Terkper's engagement with
the House.

The second Deputy Speaker, Hon. Joe Ghartey who
presided over the issue directed the Business
Committee of the House to get in touch with the
leadership to resolve the matter.
