H.E Alhaji Said Sinare, Ghana’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and former National Vice Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has described the 2026 National Budget as a “national resurrection” while delivering a scathing critique of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a fiery statement, the NDC Zongo President said the NPP’s reaction to the Budget revealed “intellectual poverty” and political confusion. “Their commentary was so shallow that even the Budget book itself would have wept if it had ears,” he said.
According to him, the 2026 Budget, presented by the Minister of Finance, is a complete departure from the “chronic confusion and economic acrobatics” that defined the NPP’s eight years in power.
Alhaji Sinare described the Budget as more than a financial plan, it is an “economic renaissance” and a “masterclass in governance.” He noted that while the previous administration treated Ghana as a “theatre of fiscal experiments,” the NDC government, led by a visionary President, has arrived with clarity, precision, and intellectual rigor.
“The NPP spent years manufacturing excuses and exporting blame. Under their watch, Ghana became a spectator in global development, a nation begging for survival while drowning in reckless mismanagement. But today, the NDC has brought order to the chaos and planted a Budget that speaks productivity, innovation, social protection, and national dignity,” Alhaji Sinare said.
He further stated that the 2026 Budget exposes the opposition completely. “The NPP is behaving like a political apprenticeship group shocked by the sudden return of competence. They are dancing around the Budget like confused masquerades, trying to manufacture criticisms that cannot stand under the sunlight of facts,” he said.
Alhaji Sinare praised the Minister of Finance for delivering “with intellectual thunder” and the President for providing “leadership with administrative fire.” According to him, the NDC government’s Budget is a stabilizer for the nation, setting Ghana on a path of production, industrial rebirth, and social protection something the NPP never understood, let alone practiced, he added.
Concluding his statement, Alhaji Sinare urged all Ghanaians to recognize the transformative nature of the Budget. “The NDC is not here to play. We are here to repair, rebuild, and reposition Ghana. And no amount of NPP lamentations can stop the rising tide,” he said.
