The maiden budget presentation by the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta attracted people from all walks of life into the Parliamentary Chamber. For the first time in recent years the Vice President of the Republic Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia graced the occasion. The “Asempa Budget” presentation was as usual characterized by heckling. The Minority flapped placards with the inscription 419 budget when the Minister announced that government will abolish import tax on spare parts and tolls collected from head porters.
