    after gaining a lot of money and building a mansion in Accra or Kumasi, if you don't think of building a good mansion in your hometown for yourself and your relatives, somewhere in the districts, then I don't know what to say ...

    I thought this educated fool would be different from Ofori-Atta, not knowing he is just another idiot.
    Their understanding of good economic management is deferring loan repayments.

    Ghanaians are aggrieved and will vote against you on December 7. Any attempts that the NPP will make to rig the Polls will be a disaster for them.

    ...unless the cedi is dropping to 10ghc per dollar tomorrow abeg just shut your mouth!!!

  • AM 2 years ago

    Actually this is the way the NPP people often try to deceive us. Even if the cedi returns to 10 cedis to the dollar they have not done anything good. Remember it was less than 5 cedis to the dollar when they came into power

  • Stephano 2 years ago

    Their intention is not to deceive. They simply have no clue to how the economy works. The moment they see a little sign, they are unable to analyse properly and starts talking before realising that they have goofed big time. ...

    Akufo Addo himself is a dumb head. How would a dumb head be able to select intelligent people to help him in government. His yardstick is his own dumb head.

  • Hope 2 years ago

    This guy talks too much. This is just a sign of someone who lacks critical thinking skills. Deep thinkers and problem-solvers are not loud. No serious-minded finance expert will be doing this kind of political gimmick.

    If being a finance minister in Akuffo addo/Bawuliar government is just borrowing dollars to stabilize the worthless cedis then my 1 year son qualified than the useless minister with fake phd.

    That $20M dollars is going to be injected artificially to bring the dollar down but you will still lose the election.

    Thieves and tricksters.

    Most educated persons usually try to be real by arguing or making claims based on credible statistics. Please be real, for most anecdotal evidence seems to be out of step with your claims.
