In a symbolic display of national pride, Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson made a bold statement on Budget Day by carrying a rich, handcrafted leather briefcase.
The briefcase, designed by celebrated shoemaker Tonyi Senayah’s Horseman, was a testament to Ghanaian excellence and a product of the country’s skilled artisans.

By carrying this Made-in-Ghana bag, Dr. Forson in a post on his Facebook page says his commitment to supporting local businesses and showcasing Ghanaian talent.
Dr. Forson’s bold statement on Budget Day has sparked widespread attention and admiration.
The image of the Finance Minister carrying the Horseman briefcase has been shared widely on social media, with many Ghanaians expressing their pride and appreciation for the Minister’s commitment to promoting local industries.
