Bolgatanga Central Member of Parliament, Isaac Adongo, has defended the appointment of Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as Finance Minister, stating that Forson has always been ahead of him in parliamentary finance roles.
His comments come in response to concerns from some of his constituents, who believe he was overlooked for a ministerial position by President John Dramani Mahama.
Some supporters have even argued that Mr Adongo should have been made Finance Minister instead of Dr Ato Forson.
Speaking on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen on Thursday, February 27, Mr Adongo acknowledged Dr Ato Forson's seniority and experience in financial matters within Parliament. "In the issue of Finance Minister proper, since I came to Parliament, I've always been behind Ato Forson," he stated.
