Isaac Adongo, the Bolgatanga Central Member of Parliament has courageously stated the finance minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson will deliver in four years what others failed to do in 8 years.
Isaac Adongo has fully thrown his support for his colleague who beat him to the position of Ghana’s finance minister.
The board member of the Bank of Ghana is quoted by GHONE TV to have stated, “Ato Forson will achieve in four years what others have been unable to accomplish in eight years”.
Isaac Adongo in an earlier interview some days ago revealed Dr Cassiel Ato Forson being appointed as Finance Minister by President John Dramani Mahama is the right decision.
According to Isaac Adongo, Ato Forson was his ranking member on the finance committee in parliament and has also been a deputy minister of finance before.
He asserted that President John Mahama made the right decision in appointing Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as finance minister.
His comments follow concerns from some of his constituents, who believe President John Dramani Mahama has snubbed in his ministerial appointments.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Thursday, February 27, Isaac Adongo revealed, “In the issue of finance minister proper, since I came to Parliament, I’ve always been behind Ato Forson. Ato was my ranking member when I arrived in the parliament I was a member and he was ranking and when I came back the second time, they promoted me to deputy ranking, and he was still ranking”.
“Then, when there was a reshuffle in parliament he assumed a leadership role, on the front bench, so I was then pushed to ranking, he has also been a deputy minister so it was really a tall ask to say that all of a sudden you are going to jump over him, what will be the reason”, he added.
Isaac Adongo further revealed, “So I explained to my people that under the circumstances based on my understanding of parliamentary practice I think that it is the right appointment”.
Meanwhile, the Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi has also stated Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson will make history as the country’s best Finance Minister ever.
Sammy Gyamfi eulogized the performance and precision of Dr Ato Forson displayed over a short span of two months, describing his performance as unprecedented.
He praised Dr Ato Forson for his ability to work judiciously to ensure the reduction of treasury bill rates from twenty-eight per cent (28%) to twenty per cent (20%).
“Let me praise Ato Forson. He is the best Finance Minister Ghana has ever had. We should brace ourselves for his performance which we will describe as the best,” he said in an interview.
Sammy Gyamfi reiterated, “I think he will go down as the best-ever Finance Minister. Put today’s date on the line. A Finance Minister who is not even two months old, and t-bill rates have been reduced from twenty-eight per cent (28%) to twenty per cent (20%), that is unprecedented.”
