During the presentation of the 2025 Budget Statement in Parliament, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson took a moment to reflect on his journey in public service, describing it as one shaped by destiny and invaluable experiences.
Addressing lawmakers, Dr. Ato Forson shared a nostalgic recollection of his rise from a young parliamentarian in 2009 to his current role as Minister for Finance.
“Standing here evokes a deep sense of nostalgia as I reflect on my journey in public service. From my early days as a young parliamentarian in this House in 2009, destiny has guided my path—from a backbencher to a member of the Finance Committee, then to Deputy Minister for Finance, Ranking Member on the Finance Committee, Minority Leader, briefly Majority Leader, and now Minister for Finance,” he stated.
He highlighted how his parliamentary experience had been instrumental in shaping his perspective and preparing him for the responsibility of leading Ghana’s economic recovery.
“The invaluable experience I gained in this chamber has shaped my perspective, sharpened my focus, and prepared me for the task at hand. I am fully committed to supporting the President in restoring Ghana’s economy,” he added.
