Parliament will later today take decision on the 2024 Budget.
The House is expected conduct a headcount vote on the approval of the budget.
This comes after the Speaker of Parliament, Alban S.K. Bagbin, last Wednesday, November 29, declared a voice vote on the approval of the budget in favour of the Majority after the conclusion of the debate.
But the Minority Caucus challenged the ruling and opted for a headcount, forcing the Majority group to stage a walkout.
The Speaker, Alban Bagbin, subsequently announced that the headcount vote would be conducted today, December 7, on the approval of the economic policy and budget statement of the government to pave the way for the approval of budget estimates.
Parliament will be going on recess in the next few weeks hence the need for the budget to be approved before the time.
