Finance Minister slams opposition as budget debate ends

The 2023 budget debate concluded yesterday with Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh criticizing the opposition’s contribution.

“Instead of proposing alternative policies, programmes and initiatives, the APNU+AFC, during this budget, regurgitated the standard, overworked, and tried diatribe which has been subject to multiple rounds of scrutiny by Guyanese,” Singh said when closing off the general 2023 budget debate yesterday.

He contended that throughout the five-day budget debate Opposition Nembers of Parliament displayed abject incompetence which is why they were voted out of government.
