Absolutely Ridiculous: KSM Blasts Government Over Mistake on New Currency Notes

Veteran Ghanaian satirist and media personality Kweku Sintim-Misa, popularly known as KSM, has added his voice to the growing outrage over the new currency notes. According to a post by The KSM Show, the outspoken presenter did not hold back as he described the situation as “ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS” and “a real SCAM.” KSM fired directly at the NPP Minority, calling the error on the currency a “SHAME” and “UNACCEPTABLE.” His fiery comments have struck a chord with many Ghanaians who are equally frustrated with the ongoing confusion surrounding the new notes.

The controversy centers on a mix-up involving the portrait on the new banknotes. An image shared alongside KSM’s post showed a side-by-side comparison of the old and new currency notes, highlighting what appears to be a significant error in the choice or labeling of the person honored on the money. KSM compared the situation to a “scam,” using his platform to question how such a mistake could happen in a country that is supposed to be serious about its national symbols.

KSM’s post was tagged with the hashtags #TALKSHOP and #IT’SNATIONTIME, showing that he is treating the currency issue as a national conversation, not just a minor mistake. The post went live during a broadcast, and the caption captured his frustration perfectly: “Its a SH@ME and UNACCEPTABLE to have this error on our currency.” The use of fire emojis showed just how hot the topic has become, with many of his followers quickly jumping into the comments to share their own thoughts on the matter.

The images in the post also included photos of NPP officials holding “SCAM GOVERNMENT” signs, suggesting that the post was mixing the currency error with broader political criticism of the government. This has turned a simple design flaw into another battleground between the NPP and the NDC, with each side blaming the other for the confusion. For ordinary Ghanaians, however, the real issue is why a mistake of this magnitude was allowed to happen in the first place, especially on something as important as the national currency.

KSM’s outburst is a reflection of the growing public frustration with the way national issues are being handled. His words have resonated with many who feel that the government is not paying enough attention to detail when it comes to the country’s heritage and symbols. As the debate over the new notes continues, KSM’s message is clear: Ghanaians deserve better, and it is time for the government to own up to its mistakes and fix them properly.
