A former ruling party politician shocked everyone when he backed his political enemies over money matters. Andy Appiah-Kubi used to serve as a lawmaker for the New Patriotic Party before losing his seat. The ex-politician went on radio and gave major credit to the opposition party. He told listeners that the National Democratic Congress had fixed Ghana's currency problems. People across the country could feel the difference when they exchanged money.
The cedi became much stronger against foreign cash during the past six months. Money changers watched exchange rates improve from around 15 cedis per dollar down to just 12 cedis. Appiah-Kubi admitted that regular citizens were getting better deals when they needed foreign money. He confessed that his former party had failed to deliver similar results. The honest politician said Ken Ofori-Atta should have achieved these gains but never managed to do it.
Appiah-Kubi begged the new government to keep the good times rolling for everyone. He worried that the currency gains might disappear just as quickly as they came. The former lawmaker promised to help the opposition party if they asked for his assistance. He explained that Ghana mattered more than any single political group. Appiah-Kubi declared that all citizens deserved to feel safe and comfortable regardless of which party controlled the government.
