The Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr Stephen Amoah, has intimated that the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will draft a long-term national framework that will fight and reverse the Cedi’s sharp depreciation against the US dollar if he is elected president.
The former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) boss and MP for Nhyiaeso in a media interaction on Wednesday, May 28, said that the “Cedi depreciation is a ritual problem” that requires someone with an impressive financial background such as Dr. Bawumia to strengthen Ghana’s weak forex space.
Various trade unions and persons from the business community have been raising concerns lately with the unbridled fall of the Cedi against the US dollar, which they say is negatively affecting the cost of doing business, and have petitioned the government to find a lasting solution to the currency’s fall.
Dr. Amoah in an interview with Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show on Citi FM, urged Ghanaians to elect Dr. Bawumia as president come December 7 so that he can “design a long-term framework to deal with the Cedi [depreciation].”
He blamed the Cedi’s woes on excessive importation, adding that the government is currently finding solutions to stabilise it as a short-term approach.
“We are doing our best to stabilise the Cedi, which I said is a short-term approach, but we need a long-term approach to resolve the issue through a framework, and then I proposed that to achieve that, we will design a long-term approach when Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is elected president,” he said.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
