Public sector workers paid but left without tools to work – Amin Adam

-

Former Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam has accused the ruling administration of fiscal indiscipline, alleging that funds for government expenditure and goods and services outlined in previous budgets have not been released.

Speaking to the press on Friday, November 14, 2025, Dr. Adam said public sector workers are being paid without the necessary tools to perform their duties.

“Since this administration came into office, the 2025 budget and the mid-year allocation for government expenditure and goods and services remain unreleased. Workers are paid but not provided with the tools and inputs to work,” he stated.

He added, “This is fiscal indiscipline in reality. Some ministries lack basic items like toilet rolls and fuel to carry out government functions.”

Dr. Adam’s remarks follow Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson’s presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament on November 13, which focused on fiscal consolidation and economic transformation.
