The Member of Parliament for Tamale North and Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways, Alhassan Suhuyini, has described the 2025 Budget Statement as a direct response to the concerns of Ghanaians.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, 15th March 2025, Suhuyini commended the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, for presenting a budget that addresses key economic challenges.
His remarks followed the presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement by Dr Forson on Tuesday, 11th March. Suhuyini emphasised that the budget restores public confidence in political leadership by demonstrating a commitment to fulfilling promises made to Ghanaians.
“That is why I have been saying that this budget offered me hope because it pushed away the perception that politicians will say anything for power and, when they win, will renegotiate on their promises,” he stated.
He particularly praised the government’s decision to abolish certain taxes, which he believes had been a burden on ordinary Ghanaians.
“This budget is responsive to the cry of Ghanaians, considering the number of taxes such as the e-levy, the betting tax, and others that have been abolished,” Suhuyini remarked.
According to him, these tax cuts would ease financial pressure on businesses and individuals while stimulating economic activity.
The Deputy Roads and Highways Minister further noted that the budget presents a clear strategy for economic recovery and growth.
He highlighted the government’s efforts to prioritise infrastructure development, job creation, and social interventions, stating that such measures would improve the standard of living for many citizens.
“This is a budget that signals hope and change. It ensures that the government delivers on its mandate to the people,” he added.
In conclusion, Suhuyini expressed optimism that the policies outlined in the budget would create a stronger and more resilient economy.
He urged all stakeholders, including opposition parties, to support its implementation for the collective good of Ghanaians.
“If we truly want progress, we must all contribute to ensuring the success of this budget,” he concluded.
