Parliament for their foresight in warning the NPP government about the risks associated with excessive borrowing risks that went unheeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minority Leader also raised alarming concerns about certain individuals within the NPP allegedly benefiting from substantial sums, including transaction advisory fees, amid the country\u2019s growing public debt challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ato Forson further highlighted the NDC&#8217;s prior concerns about the management of the Bank of Ghana, attributing significant losses to poor
