This is the remaining payment of the $3 billion loan. IMF does not give the whole amount. They divide it in several payments. With this payment the total received is $2.83 out of $3 billion.

Are you guys stupid or what? You committed us to 3 years, 3 billion IMF loan deal, and are now crying. You'll be in opposition for a long time.

Benji, do not try to play smart because nobody will pump $10billion to cushion the dollar, and do you know what that amount can do in Ghana, it can construct all our roads in Ghana to asphaltic level, but Mahama just use that as a powder to make the dollar look good.

The IMF loan is dispatch in trenches and there is nothing anyone can if not, why didn't Ato Forson reject it?

Under NDC and Mahama between 2012-16, they went for a loan of $980million with the Asantehene leading them else, they couldn't approach the world body because they saw Mahama and his cabinet as "too foolish to be given such an amount".

Are they lying to us? If Ghana has sold gold in billions since the Gold Board was set up, why Ghana doesn’t pay IMF the three billion dollars Akuffo Addo borrowed?.

First of all, we did not received the whole $3 billion IMF money. With this latest payment, we have now received $2.83 billion. The dollars we get from Goldbod is used to cover our imports, which stabilize the cedi, along with remittances, cocoa sales and other exports.
Ghana is a buy and sell country (import driven), if we use all our dollars and pay our external debt at once, they will be no dollar in the system. Cedi will fall like a rock, price of everything will shoot up, because we import almost everything. Petrol, tomatoes, rice, chicken, second hand clothing...

IMF don't give Ghana anymore loans. They just loot it instead of helping the country and it's people. Elected officials are just there to loot and nothing else.

Tell Mahama to stop pumping billions of dollars to cushion the cedi because no sane leader will do that.

Tell me where did Government borrowed the 10 billion dollars from?. He just exchange the cedis with the dollars with the Bank of Ghana serving as intermediary through the sale of Gold by Goldboard.
