The Only Difference Between The Two of Us Is Our Height – Stephen Amoah Tells Ato Forson At Vetting

Deputy Minister Nominee for Trade and Industry Dr Stephen Amoah has told the Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson that they are both brothers and the only different thing that separates them is their height.

He said they are both brothers hence if Dr Forson accepts to cut his salary as part of his contribution to dealing with the economic challenges, he will also accept to do the same thing.

Dr Forson asked him during his vetting on Tuesday, February 21 whether he accepts to sacrifice his salary in view of the rising government expenditure.

“Can you agree with me that the government, even though they are increasing taxes or increasing revenue through the introduction of taxes, needs to cut down on expenditure since expenditure has gone up by 82 billion Cedis? Dr Forson who is also lawmaker for Ajumako Enyan Essiam asked.

Stephen Amoah answered “I agree with you Sir. ”

Dr Forson asked again “Will you sacrifice your salary to reduce that expenditure?

The Nhyiaeso lawmaker responded again saying “Mr Chairman, I think I said something here, my knowledgeable Dr Ato Forson and I, the only difference is the hieight so the way we are brothers if he sees me on the corridor and he says brother let us cut [our salaries] and he cuts his, I will cut mine.”
