| 1626339637395353601 | "Throughout the fiscal crisis, the #Ghanaian government has resisted even the most basic scrutiny.

| 1623800354369314816 | @BBSimons Create inflation then turn round and increase policy rate to curb it and by implication drive cost of loans and non-performing loans up. My 10 year old could have done it better. | 45 |
