Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC), Dr Hassan Ayariga says the government must first admit that the excessive dollar transaction in businesses in the country is a major factor in the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi.
"Our country is not a dollar nation, we don't deal in dollarisation of goods, why are we allowed to trade in dollar . . . Bank of Ghana is the one giving the dollars to Forex Bureaus and the Black Market," he alleged.
Venting his fustration, he wondered why we have people in government who do not understand what governance is all about and Ghanaians give them power all the time and recycle them.
"How can you give your natural and mineral resources of your country to foreigners and sit down and tell me it is PPP (Private Public Partnership) . . . I am very very upset that we have people in government who do not understand what governance is all about and you Ghanaian citizens you give them power all the time and recycle them, when we are now in difficulties you are all complaining . . . look at where we are today . . . it is very easy to control the dollar, look at what we are doing . . . " he said.
Adding that he would implement some stringent policies to curtail the situation.
"I will ban all Black Markets . . . I will ban forex bureaus in this country . . . I will ban the operation and accounts holders of foreign currencies in this country, I will close down, nobody will have a foreign currency in this country in a bank . . . " Hassan Ayariga outlined.
"What is this nonsense!" he lamented in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie'.
In his view, the economic situation in Ghana is becoming unbearable by the day.
" . . We should stop buying the dollar and buy RMB and go to China and buy the things , Chinese RMB is cheap . . . that is another solution," he said.

Does this guy read international news?
Hahahaaaa, in times past, APC was a popular drug, maybe we were heavy doses of your APC to treat the ailing economy. If the E C was that serious with the political parties law by ensuring that it is implemented to the latter your so called APC would have long ceased to exist. Governance is serious business. Clowns have no room in this business. People having their eyes facing the skies are not seeing top much less those with their heads facing the ground. Which constituency in Ghana can you find a functional Aspirin, Paracetamol, Codiene office. Maybe every drug store where APC is sold is your constituency office. Comot there. There is another one called LPG , liquified patroluem gas, i don't know whether he's also distributing gas to Ghanaians . Because of the nature of our politics, anybody can wake up one morning and say he wants to be president, through which door? KWAME
The d-u-m-b journalist should have asked this 1nbred bu-ff00n one question of whether he Hassan Ayariga has ever used the services of black marketeers and if so why? This $pineless coward who will only get a platform in Ghana like all those crying out loud, is culpable in the worsening situation in Ghana. If only we have intelligent and bold journalist to ask sensible questions will the likes f Ayariga be exposed.
