�Probably, he doesn�t understand what went into it because it was well documented and the proper procedures and processes were followed. I will plead with him that if he does not understand he should ask from an economist. I don�t think he understands because if he does, he will not be making such comments,� says Frank Agyekum, Spokesperson for former President John Agyekum Kufuor. Former President Jerry John Rawlings, during the commemoration of the 35th Anniversary of the June 4 revolution, accused the erstwhile Kufuor administration of being corrupt and contributing to the country�s economic crisis as a result of their decision to redenominate the cedi. Mr. Frank Agyekum who was upset with the ex-President�s comments vehemently debunked claims that his boss is responsible for the current economic crisis facing the country as purported by ex-President Rawlings. He posited that it will be better for him (Rawlings) to look for an economist to explain redenomination of a currency to him because redenomination cannot result in economic crisis. He told Kwami Sefa-Kayi that �probably he doesn�t understand what went into it because it was well documented and the proper procedures and processes were followed. I will plead with him that if he does not understand he should ask from an economist. I don�t think he understand because if he does, he will not be making such comments. The Vice President was governor at the time and so if there was something wrong, wouldn�t he have said it by now? It was a very good exercise and so if as a former head of state you will make comments like this, I think it is sad�. Mr. Agyekum again wondered why ex-President Rawlings always attacks his boss at every opportunity he gets, adding �most of what he says are without evidence�you don�t know if those statements are because of envy or jealousy�.
