He, however, confessed that the performance of the cedi was posing a problem for him and other persons living abroad.
Delving into details, Kevin Taylor stated that the cedi's performance had affected remittances, as the value of monies sent had now diminished.
He hoped that the cedi would remain at the current exchange rate of GH¢10.83 to the dollar for at least two years.
"Recently, Borgas are in a tight situation. Currently, where the cedi is, good, the GH¢10.83 is okay, you let's fight this for like two years. If care is not taken and it becomes 1:1, the ladies will not mind us."
"Now we are pleading: if the dollar is 10.83, we are pleading with John Mahama, consider me, we are you, slow down. If you do this, those of us who campaign for you are being affected. If the time is due, we will urge to reduce it further. We are pleading, slow down."
At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 3,000 likes and 300 comments.
