FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STOP THE INFANTILE PROPAGANDA BEFORE IT EXPLODES
The attention of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) has been drawn to claims by the Ministry of Finance that it has released GH¢1.6 billion, representing 85% of MOFA’s 2026 budget allocation. These claims do not align with the official budget execution documents issued by the Ministry of Finance itself.
On 15th February 2026, the Ministry of Finance issued a Commitment Authorization to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. However, just four days later, on 19th February 2026, the Ministry of Finance issued the 2026 First and Second Quarter Budget Allotment Letter, which explicitly stated that, notwithstanding the contents of the Commitment Authorization, MOFA’s total expenditure for the first half of the year should not exceed GH¢910 million.
More significantly, the accompanying allotment schedule further restricted actual spending between January and June 2026 to approximately GH¢453 million, covering all expenditures, including staff compensation, contract commitments, and operational activities.
The records indicate that only limited allocations were made to key agricultural interventions, including:
* Farmer Service Centres – GH¢172,500,000.00
* Nkokonkitinkiti Programme – GH¢36,747,767.55
* Fertiliser and Certified Seeds – GH¢77,297,026.30
* Feed Ghana Programme – GH¢4,500,000.00
* National Food Buffer Stock Company – GH¢30,000,000.00
* Irrigation Infrastructure – GH¢26,250,000.00
Since the issuance of the allotment letter, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture has not received any subsequent communication from the Ministry of Finance authorising additional expenditures that would support the claim that GH¢1.6 billion has been released.
The question, therefore, remains straightforward:
If the Ministry of Finance officially capped MOFA’s spending through its allotment system and has not issued any subsequent authorisation, where exactly is this GH¢1.6 billion figure coming from?
Public financial management is governed by official allotments, cash releases, and actual budget availability—not by public relations narratives or propaganda.
The Ghanaian people deserve transparency, accuracy, and honesty in the management of public finances, particularly in a sector as critical as agriculture and food security.
For the avoidance of doubt, attached are the Commitment Authorization letters issued by the Ministry of Finance, together with the 2026 First and Second Quarter Budget Allotment Letter and the accompanying schedule, which clearly indicate that MOFA’s expenditure ceiling for the first half of 2026 was capped at GH¢910,000,000.
The facts speak for themselves.

President John Mahama: Aduna, why did you fire those missiles at mosquito 🦟 😅.
Aduna: it's time for us to let mosquito 🦟 know his boundaries 😂.
Jinapo and kwame, go there Aduna 😂😂.
Me: long may this missiles keep flying high 😂😂😂
For the first time in our history, Ghanaians were killed during general elections while exercising their constitutional rights.
Yet today, Kojo @konkrumah who was the information minister then has the audacity to speak.
Godfred Dame, the then Attorney General who wanted a judge removed for granting @barkervogues bail is the one opening his gums to complain.
@kofitonto, a spokesperson for Dr. Bawumia who was defending the NPP for these brutalities, has today had an epiphany.
Footsoldiers who jubilated when @BongoIdeasHQ was almost beaten to death for repeating a narrative in the media are now crying because someone who threatened and asked for @JDMahama to be killed has been arrested.
Partisanship has hypnotized and brainwashed us to the point that we will defend crime and harm if it's being committed by people with whom we align.
The worst part is that these politicians are friends and business partners while fools fight themselves
Aduna fires a ballistic missile at Chairman Mosquito in the presence of President Mahama.
