AFAG has welcomed the 2018 budget statement presented in Parliament on Wednesday, 15th November, 2017 'warm-heartedly'.
A statement from the group indicated that "we noted three critical pro-poor interventions which if implemented to the latter would go a long way to promote business and create wealth. These programmes; 13% reduction in domestic energy tariffs, boost for agriculture, and youth innovation programmes are worth noting".
However, "it is one thing to make a policy and another thing to implement it. AFAG wishes to urge the government to take all measures to ensure that funds appropriately utilized".
Furthermore, AFAG urged the Ministry of Finance for the prompt release of funds to forestall delays and abrogation of programmes.
Meanwhile, AFAG has called on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) "to be constructive in their criticism and support the government, for the sake of moving the nation forward".

Those living and working in Ghana know who the real propagandists are and know that we are suffering under this 419 government. For the first time in Ghana government cannot employ 268 essential staff like doctors who have finished training and ready to work but government is so broke they can't be absorbed into the health service. This is the most ***barred word*** government on earth. Ghanaians arise! Don't allow illiterates who can't understand the issues at stake but come on forums like this and just echo what a stealer like Ken Ofori Atta says to confuse you in the diaspora. Traders are complaining. Businesses are closing down or leaving town in droves. Businesses are paying twice as much as they paid last year at the ports. The Ashanti Business Owners Association held a press conference last week to complain bitterly about the downward spiral of their businesses. Are they propagandists of the NDC? Now you tell me. Please folks let us build a country by pointing out mistakes to our leaders no matter what party is in power. It is only through that we will develop our country. The kind of ***barred word*** and corruption going on in the country now is nauseating

AFAG,did you offer any constructive criticism over the past years the other party was in power? Criminal gangs who hide behind political parties and wait in the shadows to enjoy spoils of war. I wont be surprised if another gang springs up to make noise in favour of the opposition. Tweeaaa, politicians are the same and remain the same.
