Ghanaian journalist and managing editor at the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has said that former Vice president, Dr, Mahamudu Bawumia should be the last person in this country to give a lecture on the management of the cedi.
According to Kwesi Pratt Jnr, the cedi under Dr. Bawumia as the Head of the Economic Management Committee depreciated so badly that it got to a time where Ghanaians needed 17 cedis to get a dollar.
His comments come on the back of Dr. Bawumia’s lecture in the UK claiming credit for the cedi’s recent performance against the US Dollar and other major currencies in the world.
Kwesi Pratt while reacting to Dr. Bawumia’s statement, said the NPP’s Candidate for the 2024 Presidential elections should be the last person to speak about the dollar.
“Is this Dr. Bawumia speaking? Are you sure it’s Dr. Bawumia saying these things? Under his watch, the cedi rose from 3.4 cedis to 17 cedis to a dollar and he wants to give us a lecture on how to manage the cedi?
“Given his experience in government, he has no right to lecture us on the management of the cedi. He Dr. Bawumia cannot give us a lecture on the cedi after his performance and that of his government,” Kwesi Pratt Jnr said.
