More African countries are growing in inclusive governance policy to drive understanding of government policies and lines of actions.
On Tuesday, the Head of Public Relations at the Ghanaian Ministry of Finance, Madam Cecilia Isabella Akwetey, said the 2018 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of government has been translated into seven Ghanaian languages in order to enhance easy understanding to the ordinary Ghanaian. The local languages are Ga, Ga-Dangbe, Nzema, Dagbani, Asante Twi, Ewe and Gonja.
According to her, the Ministry had been collaborating with the Information Services Department, Ghana Education Service and other institutions at the district level to distribute the translated budget copies as well as explaining the content of the budget to the people.
Giving more insights at the Annual Post Budget Sensitisation Workshop for members of the Institute of Financial and Economic Journalists (IFEJ) and Parliamentary Press Corps in Accra, she said the policy will help citizens to monitor and follow the implementation of the budget from the beginning to the end.
