THE CONSTITUTIONAL INDEMNITY CLAUSE PROTECTION IS THE REASON WHY MANY GHANAIANS WANT TO BE PRESIDENT OF GHANA. IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GROW AND DEVELOP GHANA LIKE DUBAI.

MANY GHANAIANS WHO ARE DESPERATE TO BE PRESIDENT OF GHANA IS BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL INDEMNITY CLAUSE.

LIKE AKUFO-ADDO AND KUFUOR, SUCH INDIVIDUALS WANT TO BE PRESIDENT OF GHANA FOR EVEN ONE MONTH TO LOOT THE COUNTRY KWATA-KWATA, COLLECT SALARIES AND ALLOWANCIES FOR LIFE, EX-GRATIA, THEN BE ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR LOOT IN RELATIVE PEACE BECAUSE OF THE INDEMNITY CLAUSE.

THAT FOOLISH CLAUSE MUST BE EXPUNGED FROM GHANA'S CONSTITUTION.

GHANA'S EXECUTIVE BRANCH, AND TO AN EXTENT THE PARLIAMENTARIANS, ARE ABUSING THAT CLAUSE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY DO NOT DESERVE IT AND OF COURSE TAX-FREE SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES FOR LIFE, LET ALONE EX-GRATIA PAYOUTS AT THE END OF EVERY TERM IN OFFICE.

GHANA'S "ECOMINI" IS BEING SUNK BY THE VERY LEADERS WE EXPECT TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC PURSE.

Every government comes in and wants to print currency. Who accounts for the withdrawal of the old currency and intro of the new currency. On top.of that another contract for printing the notes.

Can you remember the exchange rate on the day Ghana redenominated its currency, it was my first time in Ghana and I remember going to buy something that day and the woman selling refused to accept my money and unfortunately I had only the new money, it took intervention of a passerby before she grudgingly accepted to take it, I don't know wether it was because I am not Ghanaian

But looking at Ghs940 to USD1000 on that day and looking at USD1000 today, Ghana economy is not doing well at all

I want to remind Ghanaians that a standard bottle of Star larger liquid contents only in Ghana is about Ghs18 or Ghs 180,000 and higher depending on where just to drink a bottle of beer, meanwhile a higher quality of the same Star in Nigeria goes for between N800 -N950 and could be higher too depending on where but to think that Ghanaians will pay such an amount to drink a bottle of beer is scary

Nigeria has a very huge population compared to Ghana hence some goods would be very very cheaper there compared to Ghana.

It’s not entirely true. Updating or replacing currency is not necessarily a sign that we are going backwards. We also need to improve the security, durability and reliability of the cedi to protect it from counterfeiting and make it fit for modern transactions. What we should demand from our leaders is responsible economic management and policies that genuinely improve the lives of Ghanaians.

John Mahama, no matter how hungry you are, you cannot eat with your two hands because it is not normal. Was this part of you manifesto during the campaign? Where are the jobs for the 24-hour economy and the formula of 1:3:3? The youth are patiently waiting for the jobs as you promise so, deliver them. Oh, maybe the refreshing of the cedi will be 24-hour economy. Gyimii saa kwa.

No currency in the world is immune from counterfeiting. The US dollar in every denomination has been in circulation for years with just minor changes . All the government could do is to enact stringent laws against counterfeit currency and enforce the laws . Ghanaians have witnessed the change in our currency during previous governments and the experience is nothing Ghanaians are willing to go through again. All that Ghanaians need to protect themselves from counterfeit currency is education to be able to identify our real and authentic currencies.

Just tell us you want to remove the faces of the big 6 from the banknotes. You can go ahead and put your own face plus your brother's on it. That too will be refreshed.

Kwamena, what do you mean by Mahama has no cash to be wasted? Do you understand the meaning of using $10 billion to facelift the cedi which Mahama did after winning the election? According to statistics, $10billion can upgrade all our roads in Ghana to asphaltic level but Mahama, who you see as credible, used that amount to put a cosmetic facelift on the cedi which was quite good to people like you.

Mahama as president did not add an ounce of gold to the reserves, but winning the election, he sold 18.5 tons gold reserves out of the 32.5 tons as the national reserves and what did he do with the money?
