- Appau-Klu asks Akufo-Addo over cedi fallElsie Appau-KluA former deputy spokesperson for former president John Mahama’s flagbearer campaign is asking President Akufo-Addo to produce the “able men” to stabilise the Ghanaian economy and the falling cedi. Mrs Appau-Klu, a private legal practitioner, made this observation when contributing as a panel member on Ete Sen, a political talkshow on Radio XYZ Friday morning. They’re crying over high import charges and the cedi depreciation… Today, if you buy an item for 100 cedis, tomorrow you will buy same item for about 120 cedis,” Appau-Klu added. According to the public policy analyst, the party that boasted of competent men to govern Ghana should not be preciding over a “weak economy” such as Ghana’s. The cedi has depreciated immensely against major trading currencies in the past month, raising questions about the competency of Akufo-Addo and his cousin, Ken Ofori-Atta who is the Minister for Finance.
