As Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson stepped out on Budget Day, all eyes were on him, but it wasn’t just his words that made a statement. The rich, handcrafted leather briefcase he carried was a testament to Ghanaian excellence, and it stole the show.
The Horseman Minimalist Handmade Leather Briefcase, designed by celebrated shoemaker Tonyi Senayah’s Horseman, was more than just a bag – it was a symbol of national pride. Crafted from premium authentic leather, this briefcase told a story of resilience, self-reliance, and Ghanaian ingenuity.
By carrying the budget in a Made-in-Ghana bag, Minister Forson embodied President John Mahama’s “Buy Ghana, Wear Ghana” agenda. This simple yet powerful gesture sent a strong message about the importance of supporting local industries and promoting national pride.
As the Minister presented the budget, the briefcase by his side served as a reminder of the country’s potential and the talent of its people. It was a moment of pride for Ghanaians, and a testament to the country’s commitment to promoting local excellence.
