Over 138 MPs Were Present Before The Budget Was Rejected; Bagbin Responds To Majority

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin says the 2022 budget was lawfully rejected, therefore, the statement by the majority that it was unconstitutional should be disregarded.

He added that at the time the budget was rejected, over 138 Members of Parliament were present.

“Please let it be known that there were more than 137 MPs on the floor when I put the question for the approval or rejection of the Economic Policy and Financial Statement of the government for the 2022 financial year often referred to as the Budget for 2022,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
