We wiil know the length of the frog when it dies.
If the NDC can do these wonders in six months, then let us wait and see what happens in four years.
We hope for better econom but have to be honest to ourselves. What is effect of the dollar downfall on the life if our poor citizens.
The minister of roads is calling for price reduction .
Hope trades will listen if truly the dollar is falling.

So Ghanaweb went all the way to analysed that a minister saying about $1 to 17 ghc during Addo government was wrong. I personally exchanged $1 to 18.30 ghc at Botianor Forex Money Exchange shop.
