Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Finance Minister-designate, began his vetting process today, January 13, 2025, before Parliament’s Appointments Committee. His nomination follows President John Mahama’s recent ministerial appointments, which also include John Abdulai Jinapor for Energy and Dr. Dominic Ayine for Attorney General and Minister for Justice.
The vetting process marks the first step in Dr. Forson’s anticipated role, where he aims to stabilize Ghana’s economy and address key financial issues. His leadership promises initiatives like enhanced coordination with the Bank of Ghana to stabilize the cedi and the establishment of an Independent Value for Money Office to curb wastage.
As part of President Mahama’s government restructuring, Dr. Forson’s potential leadership has been commended for its strategic focus on economic stability and cost efficiency.
