Ghanaians voted for comedians who will never be serious about anything.
They only come back to blame Ghanaians for their own Crazy actions as Leaders. Aaah! So Sad.
Ye, you’re right. If Cecilia Dapaahs family hold a million dollars in cash at home, another thousand of them collectively hold over a billion dollars in cash. A bug reason why the exchange rate is so bad.
A small fraction travel abroad even though u think they are many..they many due to size if population but majority don't travel outside USA..so they use the dollar even with multiple travel in USA...USA is large it's like Afr ...

Hollow talk. The main problem is Ghana importing everything for her needs.
Another problem is you politicians in the quest of hoarding money goes to the forex bureaus with your stolen cedis to buy dollars.
Bro you have hit the nail right on the head.When we live in a country that imports virtually everything how do you expect your currency to be strong?
Out of the total population how many travel abroad for vacation.This is sh ...

Komenda sugar factory is still languishing in pain, waiting to be rescued yet Ghanaians are looking on sheepishly while the govt is importing $240 million worth of sugar every single year, aahhahahaaa.
These hypocrites don't do what they say. The economy is beyond them. They are inept in managing such a small country yet they know where to put the blame other than themselves. They've always been victims as Ofori Atta said " ...

What can the Minister do when houses are sold in dollars in Ghana? And some Ghanaians buy the dollars and deposit them in their foreign accounts? The best thing for the cedi is the government should let it be as it is.

That is not the main cause. Your government takes hundreds of people on just climate change conference so imagine the many conferences and several patronize services abroad. They also make the country unbearable for people to ...
