Cedi depreciation: KSM revisits old video of Duncan Williams commanding the cedi to rise

• In a bid to ensure the cedi doesn't fall any further against the dollar, Duncan Williams some years back commanded and prayed for it to rise
• Bloomberg has since classified the Ghanaian cedi as the worst-performing currency in the world
• KSM, in a Twitter post, laughed at Duncan Williams's prayer, which couldn't stem the rise of the dollar

Ghanaian playwright and actor Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) has mocked Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams over his prayers to stem the Ghanaian cedi's free fall.

Some years ago, the revered Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel International Ministry commanded and prayed for the cedi to rise, with the reverse being the case.

"It will not fall any further, I command the cedi to climb, I command the resurrection of the cedi. In the name of Jesus I command and release a miracle for Ghana's economy. In the name of Jesus, Satan I say take your hands off the president, take off your hands on the Central Bank and Finance Minister," the Archbishop prayed fervently.

Since then, the Ghanaian currency has lost ground to the dollar, with Bloomberg's research pointing out that the Ghanaian currency remains the worst globally.

Reposting the commanding prayer against the cedi depreciation on his social media, KSM mocked thus: "you see why GOD works overtime in GH? Too much pressure."
