The Managing Editor of the Daily Searchlight newspaper, Ken Kuranchie, has slammed government over the fast depreciation of the cedi against the dollar and other currencies.

Speaking on Oman FM, Ken Kuranchie wondered how the government would salvage the dwindling cedi if it still keeps to its exorbitant spending spree.

He opined that the Mahama government has done very little to revive the cedi and, therefore, found the actions of the government unpardonable.

To him, though it is good for religious leaders to offer prayers for the cedi to appreciate against other major trading currencies, it will come to naught if the government continues to lavishly expend the nation's money.

“..what the nation needs is not prayers but brain surgery for the cedi to catch up with the dollar,” he said.

Alluding to the judgment debt saga involving certain government officials and Ex-government players, Ken Kuranchie held strongly that the incumbent government is being run somehow by "satanic hands".

“You take 52 million cedis (520 billion) and give it to a person like Alfred Agbesi Woyome; it’s either you’re acting under satanic influences or rather your brain has stopped to work.

“What we need is not prayer. We need brain surgery,” he told President John Dramani Mahama and his government.
