K Bentil Says Ato Forson Is On Right Path But Should Not Portray Himself As A Transformative Leader

According to a report by TV3 Ghana on 15th November 2026, Kofi Bentil, Vice President of IMANI Africa, has said that Dr. Ato Forson is on the right path but should not portray himself as a transformative leader.

Speaking in the context of the 2027 Budget and the New Economy, Mr. Bentil acknowledged the direction of Dr. Forson’s work while cautioning against overstating its impact. In his view, the current performance of the Finance Minister, though encouraging in some respects, does not yet justify the “transformative” label.

Mr. Bentil further stated that Dr. Forson’s performance does not guarantee him the presidency. His remarks come amid growing public discussion about the political future of key figures in government, and about how economic management could shape leadership prospects in the years ahead.

The IMANI Africa Vice President’s comments reflect a broader view among policy analysts that economic reforms should be judged by sustained, measurable results rather than by announcements or political positioning. Transformation, they argue, is demonstrated over time through lasting improvements in the lives of citizens, not claimed in advance.

His assessment also carries a balanced message. While he cautioned against self-promotion, he did not dismiss the efforts being made. By describing Dr. Forson as being “on the right path,” Mr. Bentil recognised progress while stressing that more work remains.

The remarks follow the presentation of the 2027 Budget, which outlined the government’s fiscal priorities and its plans for the economy. Observers say the implementation of the budget will be an important test of whether current policies can deliver the results many citizens are hoping for.

As debate continues, Mr. Bentil’s position offers a reminder that public trust is earned through delivery. Leaders, he suggests, are best judged by the outcomes of their work rather than by the titles they claim for themselves.
