Tema West MP Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah has praised the government’s efforts to stabilize the cedi, stating that the exchange rate would have plummeted to GHC 50.00 to 1 dollar if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were in power.

During a discussion on UTV, Ahenkorah credited the government’s policies, including the Gold for Oil initiative, for mitigating the cedi’s depreciation, which currently stands at 14 percent.
