    Overshadowed by record negative events over the past few years a voter may be brain dead to vote for NDC.

    We will get up, clear the dust off our body and keep on trucking. I can see the sun rising.

    We need not change to the Pound, Sir! If NPP was able to squarely peg the Cedi to the Dollar sometimes back, we can still do same now.

    Only our economic managers need to think through.
