One noticeable difference that was observed during Ofori-Atta's arrival was the finance minister's choice of bag.
Ofori-Atta, throughout his tenure, has always gone to parliament for the presentation of the budget with his documents in a brown leather bag.
This time around, the minister arrived for the 2024 Budget and Financial Statement with a green leather bag.
It is not clear whether the minister is trying to send a message with the choice for this new colour of bag.

By way of information, the colour green generally symbolises hope, but in Ghana's national flag, green stands for the country's rich forest.
