Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has called on President Nana Akufo-Addo to promptly instruct his appointees who have hoarded foreign exchange to release them. 

He emphasised the urgency of this directive to mitigate the depreciation challenges faced by the Ghanaian Cedi.

Addressing the media during a press conference held on Wednesday, May 15, the Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam reiterated his stance that these appointees have intentionally stored foreign exchange for their personal gain.

He emphasised the detrimental impact of such actions on the Ghanaian economy.

Dr Ato Forson accused government appointees of prioritising their individual interests over the well-being of the Ghanaian economy. 

He stressed the importance of immediate action from President Akufo-Addo to prevent further harm to the country’s currency.

According to the Minority Leader, his remarks underscore the growing concern over the depreciation of the Ghanaian Cedi and highlight the need for decisive measures to stabilise the currency and safeguard the economy.
