Parliament has rejected the 2022 budget statement presented by Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, on Wednesday, November 17.
All 137 members from the Minority side rejected the motion to approve the budget after the Majority refused to come back to the chambers after staging a walkout.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin gave the Majority members a five-minute break for them to return to the chambers but they didn’t.
Subsequently, he ruled that the budget had been rejected after a unanimous ‘No’ to the motion.
Meanwhile, the house has been adjourned until Tuesday, 30th November 2021.
