    The GoldBod was set up on the basis of propaganda, so definitely they shd expect that type of resistance. The foundation of the board is weak and it will collapse in no time.

  • Ghc 13,000 - Ghc 8,00 = Ghc 5,000. The Ghc5,000 difference is going into taxes to d3velop the State! 1 year ago

    Besides, the value ofbthe cedi has gone up so Ghc 8,000 can buy what Ghc 13,000 could not buy under useless the akuffo addo government. Besides, most of you gold dealers don't pay taxes. You mine illegally and sell it for Ghc ...

    This guy isn’t smart at all. COCOBOD determines the price of cocoa bags in Ghana! The domestic price is far lower than international market price! The margin is set aside for government projects.

  • Be informed 1 year ago

    To make it easier for Wuntumi, let’s use the fuel scenario. Same quantity of fuel that sold at 16 cedis last year sells for 11 cedis today. So 1 cedis last year is not the same as 1 cedis this year. The Cedi is stronger tha ...
