Amidst all the corruption, money laundering and narcotics business having a stranglehold on the political psyche and the economy. The drugs problem is not settled so such monies will be justified and absorbed by the redenomination making certain people illegally rich that is what it means. The untaxed or unaccounted for monies hiding in Palaces around the country and new ones sought to be build in Accra on Ga lands and forest reserves. The redenomination is just giving credibility to "BLOOD MONEY" in Ghana. I is probably another useless but technical sham, and just an interest free loan to the NPP government to access free money for political campiagn. Redenomination is not necessary. The timing is wrong especially if we are to join the ECO and it will demand another redenomination and another cost to tax payers and free money to thise in power. It is said to be neither devaluation nor revaluation so what is it? Why not wait until 2009? Ghana has changed money twice, first from pounds to cedi (decimalisation)in 1965, secondly mainly just to remove Pres. Nkrumah's head from the money in 1967, then thirdly will be 1997 due to inflation. Although within the pereiod there has been new denominations of the cedi.

The government strict financial discipline had been rewarded, though there are a lot of “leakages” within the system. The financial sector will with time develop. I also hope with time, the government will try and change the whole currency, to get away with the high Value cedis. Such act shows how better job this government is doing for mother Ghana. Though they are not doing well, when it comes to politics. They are just not proactive. Well such action says it all.
