Cheddar says he’s the new IMF for Ghana
Renowned Ghanaian businessman and founder of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar, has stated that he is the solution to Ghana’s economic woes.
Speaking in a candid interview with Kwadwo Jantuah on Nhyira FM’s ‘Kuro Yi Mu Nsem’ on Monday, March 18, 2024, Cheddar expressed disappointment with how the Ghana’s economy has been managed over the years.
He lamented the reliance on foreign aid, arguing that efficient management of the country’s natural resources could have rendered such assistance unnecessary.
“Although I made half a million outside Ghana, all the industrialisation and projects I have in my empire came from the resources I mobilised in this country,” he stated.
The business mogul, who is currently aspiring to be Ghana’s next president went on to detail that his wealth was made through hard work, contrary to the criminal tag placed on him by some individuals.
“I don’t blame those who think I made my wealth from drugs and other vices. It is common in our part of the world that people believe you cannot make it with through hard work without politics and drugs.
“This is why we need a change of mind and understand that the Black man is also capable. I know with time people will see who truly I am,” he explained.
Cheddar then outlined his plans to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians and help bring the economy back to life.
The independent presidential aspirant believes he will be able to mobilise the needed revenue for the economy, where the concept of going to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for bailouts will be a thing of the past.
“I am the new IMF for Ghana if I can find a solution for Ghana to gain $10 billion to $30 billion within 4 years,” he said.
