Ghanaian music icon, A- Plus, has applauded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for slashing the Ghana at 60 budget to US4.5 million dollars which is equivalent to GHC20 million.
The musician who took to his social media (Facebook) expressed how he felt when the budget was slashed down.
According to him, the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) government spent over US70 million dollars on Ghana at 50, ten years ago.
He said: “Way back in 2007, which is about ten years ago, over US70 million dollars was spent in the celebration of Ghana at 50. Today His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has budgeted, not spent ooo… budgeted 4.5 million dollars.”
“This is less than what the National Democratic Congress (NDC) spent on flying supporters to the World Cup in Brazil. Less than what the Ghana Football Association (GFA) budgeted for the just-ended AFCON where they won Obaapa tin tomatoes,” he added.
Waaaay back in 2007, ten years ago, we spent over 70 million dollars on Ghana at 50. Today His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has budgeted, not spent oooo, budgeted 4.5 million dollars, less than what the NDC spent on flying supporters to the world cup in Brazil.
Less than what the Ghana football association present for the just ended Afcon where they won Obaapa tin tomatoes. He even stated that the committee is looking for sponsorship from corporate Ghana. This means that the money is not coming from the taxpayer.
The money will come from companies who want to sponsor. Before we are told what this sponsorship money (if it actually comes) will be used for and whether it will benefit the country or not, our “chobo brigade,” aka Wonkyɛndi United who can spend 14 million dollars on a vice president’s house are complaining. What is wrong with these people koraa?
