The Parliament of Ghana, on Friday, May 17, 2024, passed a $150 million loan agreement between the Government of Ghana and the World Bank to improve Accra’s economic resilience.
There was an intense debate in the house over the loan agreement, with the minority side of the house, led by the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, totally opposed to it.
The loan was approved by a majority vote while a bid for tax exemptions for businesses was abandoned.
