Ghanaian economist, Kwame Pianim is currently trending on Twitter following his comment on Ghana’s economy.

Kwame Pianim in an interview with TV3 said government is sitting on a timebomb if it goes ahead to implement the Domestic Debt Exchange programme.

He further said that Ken Ofori-Atta's irresponsibility and recklessness has led the country into a ditch, which has resulted in the need for the country to undertake a debt restructuring exercise for an IMF bailout.
