But how much was it also before you took over from Kuffour?
Your excellency, kenkey is more than 5 ghc. It's 10ghc or more. These fools have made life unbearable for the citizenry, except theirs. A 10 yr old needs more than 10 ghc ball of kenkey to survive, just for the morning.
Akufo Addo campaigned against the 1cedi ball of kenkey and said it was too expensive yet you fools here are hypocritically talking down on it when you lots can't feed today. My family and I are voting on food inflation. Fools ...

If this corrupt and incompetent fool was in power during and after covid, a ball of kenkey would only be found in a museum. Gyimii saa!
Your logic is called Kumasi politics which doesn't appeal to common sense bcos our neighbours like Togo, Burkina Faso etc have low inflation. Your economic wizkid is a disaster.
100 cedis was 25 dollars
100 cedis today is 6.8 dollars
So your one cedibkenkey was more expensive in dollar terms compared to today.
What stops you from relocating to any of those countries?
When Kuffour was leaving power kenkey was 10.00 pesewas. He increased it 10 fold.
You people should think well
If you also understand global economic issues you will know that all the neighbors you are referring to are heavily supported the French economy. You guys he. Hmn
THE THIEVING "LEADERS" ARE SNEAKING IN AND OUT OF GHANA ONE-BY-ONE TO SCOOP THEIR ACCUMMULATED UNJUSTIFIABLE SALARIES, PLETHORA OF ALLOWANCES AND EX-GRATIA "CONFETTI" PAYOUTS.

What is wrong with Mahama? Why is he always talking about food instead of talking about his flagship policies - 24hr economy and legalising okada?!
What was a ball of Kenkey when you took over? Tell us. A ball of Kenkey was one cedis and yet you couldn't not provide chalk. Food prices all over the world are high. You know it unless you don't read. We will not fall for th ...

And if I may ask how many years now
And are you trying to tell me that you still give your daughter same money when you were in power till now??

How much was Ken key under President Kuffour presidency. Prices of goods and services has never depreciated in Ghana
When kenkey was 1cedi we were sleeping in dumsor
Foolish man! That is how the economy of Ghana is. How much was a packet of roofing sheets in 1979? Did it come down under NDC? Even when fuel prices go down, do drivers reduce fares?
What is your salary now,
Your time has passed you can't be president again,
True but I can sit in my room and pay my electricity bill, move cash into my wallet and renew my NHI policy.
You are daydreaming. At what was the price during Kuffour's era?
Ask yourself how much was kenkey when Atta Mills took over from Kufour, nonsense talk
Yes, anytime the man with the "Association of Chartered Alcoholics" speaks, the fumes can be smelled ten miles away. This is a man who was "once-upon-a-time" president of Ghana and is telling Ghanaians to give the chance to b ...

Yet you couldn't pay nursing and teacher training allowance
You have forgotten the Xgratial you gave yourself and your Dead Goats syndrome could have caused the country now
Someone should tell Kuffour. He is enjoying his retirement from the presidency with all what went with it and telling Ghanaians Bawumia, who contributed to this rise in kenkey price as the best man to be president.
no wonder you are called Jim!
When the fundamental are soo weak the exchange rate will expose Bawumia foolishness and illiteracy.
So what will you do to bring it back to 1cedi ? That's what we want to hear, you think all of us are fools right?

Foolish desperate politician! So you don't realise that conditions have changed! Kenkey was 5p under Kuffuor when you took over...did we complain that you allowed the price to increase by 50%???
Foolish man. How many years now? Was kenkey 1 cefis before u took office? If even an increamement if 1 cedis every year do the calculations and see how much kenkey would have cost. Animal
Mahama is still thinking backwards, how much was V8 when he was sharing to his slay Queens and how much is V8 now,he has no vision for the country
How old were you under your presidency and how old are you now. Hope you see your age now isn't same as at the time of your presidency.
