The legislator made the comments during a deliberation on the 2020 budget by the House on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.
Mr Iddrisu advised the Akufo-Addo-led government not to compare its economic performance to the previous government as the current government has more resources at its disposal than the National Democratic Congress government did.
