The leader and founder of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako widely called Cheddar has guaranteed that Ghana will produce its own currency once he becomes President following the elections on December 7, 2024.
Cheddar raised concerns during the unveiling of his manifesto at the New Force Key Policy Launch, questioning the need for Ghana to outsource the printing of its currency to countries such as England, Belarus, and Switzerland.
Cheddar believes there is no need to let other nations print our currency as Ghana’s industrial strength can be harnessed instead.
He said; “With all the reserve there is one thing that I would like to add and I know we probably have never thought of it. Why do we buy money? Why do we have to go to England or Switzerland or Belarus to print our money and we fly it or ship it before we have money?
“What happens to the industrial power that we are creating now? We are going to print money on our own. We don’t need to go to America or England to print money.
“We don’t need to go anywhere else to go and buy food and bring it here. We don’t need to pay seven times the taxes of whatever that is already in our country and someone has just packaged it and we go and buy it for premium price and bring it back here, that stops. Because we are going to create them here,” he stated.
