Gonja Robbers, who are stealling for you? An Ibrahim, a Mahama? So within six years for your presidency, your brother has been able to raise to 100 million dollars to force and buy someone's mines?

So an Ibrahim can own and opereate a mine but an Owusu cannot do same? Are you seeing what we are seeing?

These gonja mafias will finish this nation after their 4 years.

The usual populist and propaganda nonsense from an incompetent and clueless president.

Only yesterday, your finance minister was gleefully quoting figures in dollars.

Did your English run away to Agege while you were in class 3, or what? Your comprehension is huhuuhu!

The finance minister demonstrated how the Cedi has appreciated against major global trading currencies ($, €, £). What has that got to do with denominating GoG contracts in Cedis? Aaah Ghana abrɛ agu kwa!

Excellent. So shall it be. Salaries should also be quoted in cedis irrespective of where you work period. People are using this Forex thing to manipulate and impoverish the country. No countries that except Ghana why?

well done President Mahama for such a brave decision. I have always been asking myself why some financial transactions in Ghana are done in US dollars. Just about a week ago I had a hectic argument on why the US dollar is used in most financial transactions in Ghana with my daughter. I do not think we can find this in countries like Burkina Faso.
President Mahama, so far so good, but there are many areas in our economy that need resetting. Gradually the reset agenda will be felt everywhere.
we are looking forward to ORAL implementation, not press conferences.
