[VERSE 3 — THE CEDI] LEAD:
Doctor
Bawumia,
the
so-called

once
said: “
If

weak...”
CROWD:
THE
EXCHANGE
RATE
WILL
EXPOSE
YOU!
LEAD:
Again!
CROWD:
THE
EXCHANGE
RATE
WILL
EXPOSE
YOU!
LEAD:
But
the
cedi
kept
falling,
Prices
kept
rising,
Ordinary
people
felt
the
pain.
So
Ghana
asks—
CROWD:
WHO
DID
THE
EXCHANGE
RATE
EXPOSE?
LEAD:
Nana
Addo
or
Doctor
Bawumia?
And
today
he
is
back
What
did
he
want
to
do
that
he
couldn't
do?
Is
he
coming
to
promise
more?
CROWD:
THE
PEOPLE
KNOW!
THE
PEOPLE
WILL
DECIDE ---
