NPP’s Dr Stephen Amoah Applauds Finance Minister Ato Forson as a Financial Genius

In a rare show of bipartisan praise, Dr Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso and a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has publicly commended the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, for his expertise and competence in managing Ghana’s economy.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Dr Amoah described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Finance Minister as a financial genius and lauded his in-depth understanding of economic matters.

Though I’m with the NPP, I must speak the truth—Ato Forson is a genius, Dr Amoah stated.

He emphasized that Ghana’s economic success depends not just on party allegiance or ideology but on the ability to execute sound financial strategies. According to him the country needs competent leadership with clear economic plans that serve the national interest.

The economy is larger than any political party. We need to put the well-being of Ghanaians above party politics, Dr Amoah added.

His comments come at a time when Ghana continues to navigate economic recovery challenges, including inflation debt restructuring, and job creation. The acknowledgement from a political opponent highlights growing calls for national unity in tackling the country’s economic issues.

Dr Amoah’s endorsement of Dr Ato Forson’s leadership signals a maturing political climate where merit and national development take precedence over partisan rivalry. It also reflects the need for collaborative governance to bring stability and progress to the nation.

As political debates continue, many observers believe such acknowledgements of good work—regardless of party lines—can help foster trust and effective policymaking in Ghana’s democracy.
