Hon. Yankah highlighted that Forson’s presentation went beyond figures and statistics. “Not only the numbers, but the facts, statistics, and his body language gave a lot of credence to Government’s performance over the past 10 months,” he added.
Yankah stressed the importance of giving praise where it is due, noting that such acknowledgment strengthens public confidence in governance.
Observers say the Finance Minister’s articulate delivery, coupled with his composed demeanor, left a positive impression on both Parliament and the public, reinforcing the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability in its fiscal management.
