The embattled Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Seth Terpker, has given a tacit indication that what many Ghanaians now describe as �the wanton dissipation� of the nation�s resources in Election year 2012, which many economic and financial analysts agree led to the unprecedented budget deficit of GH�8.7 billion, and subsequently led to the current economic mess in which the nation finds itself, cannot be blamed on Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, who was the Finance Minister at the time those expenditures were made.
