Majority leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu on Friday afternoon presented the 2021 Budget statement to Parliament for approval.

The Suame MP after his presentation has been lauded by social media users for his delivery while others have criticised the policies therein.

Following the absence of Finance Minister-designate, Ken Ofori-Atta, President Akufo-Addo appointed Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu as caretaker of the Finance Ministry.

Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu deserves a standing ovation.
