He was cheered and jeered at the same time in Parliament during his presentation of the 2015 Budget but on Joy FM's Ghana Connect programme, Finance Minister Seth Terkper did not have the luxury of praise singers.
What he had was four disillusioned Ghanaian business persons, Ewurabena Agyeman and Angorkor Nai-Kwabe of Wear Ghana, Nana Kofi Aquah a photographer and Auntie Bee a trader, who bombarded him with some of the key questions on the lips of many Ghanaians.
Fuel price hikes, erratic power supply, depreciation of the country's currency all of which have lowered the cost of production and increased the standard of living in the country.
In spite of the criticism, Auntie Bee, a trader however had something to congratulate government for- the reduction of the price of gas.
The Finance Minister said Ghanaians have one thing to be excited about in the 2015 Budget and that is the flow of gas.
