Bryan acheampong is right. I think he was referring to exchange rates quoted by forex beaurus which many people patronize. Go to online currency exchange platform and look at the historical rates. At some point it was almost 18 cedis. The Bank of Ghana tried to manipulate the system but it didn't work.

Why would a candidate for a flagbearership position rely on NDC propaganda story in an internal contest,it raises serious questions about his commitment. Forex bureau were even quoting GH15.25 to a Dollar.

And you Ghanaweb, are you so stupid to be projecting this fallacy ??? Or you idiots think we don't have the brains to recall what we went through. Senseless fools... if you are in doubt, go and ask Bawumia himself for the data. Nkwasiasem-aaa-kwa-kwa...!!!!!!

Oviedo gyimeefoo which 30 million people are you talking about? Officially dollar to the cedis never crossed 17cedis. Take it or leave it. The highest dollar to cedi exchange rate occurred on 8th November, 2024(1=16.676). Yes the black market rate certainly reached 17 cedis but is that what is use for official govt business? Currently the rate is about 10cedis to a dollar but do you think when you go to the foreaux bureau you would get it for 10 cedis?
If so then I bought dollars at ghc 14.00 yesterday 1 month ago

What is the point? Byran Acheampong we were all aware of the nose-dive the CEDI took----we need no ghost to tell us that ---It went as high as 16 GHS to 1 US $----BUT there was an improvement--rate was hovering around 13.5 at the time of change of government. Anyway, anyhow every-one would have wished for a strong Cedi standing---but for the 'PHD'--[pull him down] --nature characteristic of the NDC opposition Party nothing better could be achieved--[was achieved]. Why the notion? Simple fact -remember the strong propaganda advanced by the NDC----bastardized the E-LEVY proposal which would have improved the government Revenue situation----instead of the E-LEVY being popularized the NDC did so well to reduce its intended value of raising Local Revenue-----a success of the E-LEVY would have prevented GHANA going to the IMF
It is very hypocritical and disingenuous on Byran 's part to have shelved the failure of the ECONOMY entirely upon the President and his Vice-----as if he Byran was not part of the government.---Knowing very well that --he Bryan ,the Finance Minister , other Ministers and even Chairperson of Boards has more authority [power] than the VP.--In all honesty the VP position is advisory ---what he says may be taken or rejected. It is only -in the absence of the President that what a VP says caries any weight .-Byrant knows that but because of cheap POLITICS---no scruples--BAWUMIA stands to be blamed for the SINS of the NPP.NANA Akuffo Addo will order Byran to perform a duty and he must obey--that is a directive --BAWUMIA has no authority to order Byran to do something---he may choose to disobey ---Byran as a minister knows he has more power than the VP when it comes to giving directives.
GHANAIANS --LET US WAKE UP --to all these unscrupulous tactics being used to make BAWUMIA the cause of the poor showing at the last [2024] ELECTION. Among all the aspirants for the NPP FLAGBEARER [PRESIDENTIAL] RACE--only Kwabena Adjei Agyapong may have cause to fault BAWUMIA FOR THE NPP DETEAT and cos he is well principled --that is not his style.
Kwabena will never stoop so low to do such a thing----GOD WILLING if Kwabena does not win the FLAGBEARERSHIP race and if BAWUMIA is successful ----KWABENA ADJEI AGYAPONG must be given the CHEIF of STAFF POSITION--he will serve GHANA WELL---He will bring discipline in/to our CULTURE ---CIVIC RESPONSIBILTY shall be well entrenched.

He speaks like no one was in Ghana and wants to be a leader. This already tells what he is capable of doing.

It was 17 cedis to a dollar. Anytime Bawumia is a saying the NDC left the cedi at 4 to the dollar he was quoting forex not inter bank rate. So we understand forex so Bryan is very right.

Who in this country that was following economic affairs never knew that the Cedi once hit that rate ??!
Bryan Acheampong himself irrespective of the fact that he deserves no chance to lead this country for wanting to buy state properties that he was supposed to make better , he didn’t lie with this statement .

Were you in Afghanistan or you were living in paradise? You bunch of highly incompetent blockhead idiots are just immune to the truth. Is always difficult for you guys to admit the truth. So where was the dollar before you thieves were booted out? Thieves with no manners and dignity who ruled us with their foolishness and gross stupidity. Never again shall we allow you thieves get closer to power. Nonsense

Foolish boy! You are rather the shameless vagabond, kromfuor ba @Citizen8. Until the day you idiots learn how to speak the truth, you will roam in opposition saaaa till frustration will kill you out from this world. Are you saying you didn't know the cedi against the dollar got to almost Ghc18.00 ?? You can even go and tell your ashawo mother that Bawumia brought the dollar down to Ghc10.00 before we brutalized you out of power. It's your own cup of tea!

This is shocking that Ghanaweb published an article on 31st October 2024 that dollar to a cedi was 17 cedis. What is this angle that Ghanaweb wants to take? Very false and misleading media house. You are not fit to be a news organization in Ghana. Thank God people can read and research for themselves. Utterly disgusting!! Maybe they will delete that publication to further make their false case.

As Minister of Agriculture, Brian Acheampong contributed nothing to the growth of the sector but he now blaming Dr Bawumia. Money that was given by the World Bank to support drought stricken communities in the Northern sector never reached the beneficiaries. Farmers cried for fertilizer without success. He is now transporting gullible delegates daily to his Rock City to brainwash and buy their votes.
