Ken Thompson: Mahama’s budget is the most understandable in nine years

Ken Thompson, former Chief Executive Officer of Dalex Finance, has commended the Mahama administration for presenting a budget that he describes as clear, data-driven, and focused on addressing real issues.

Speaking on the matter on Face to Face on Channel One TV on Tuesday, Thompson highlighted the stark contrast between the current budget and those of the previous government.

“For the first time in nine years, they have read a budget that I can understand and which is based on data,” Thompson remarked.

He criticised previous budgets for being overly self-congratulatory and lacking substance.

“Previous budgets, I didn’t understand some of the things they were saying. It was full of praise for the government. It was full of things that the government wanted to do… It never dealt with the real issues,” he added.
