The protest was held on Tuesday to denounce the economic crisis as a result of what the protesters termed poor monetary policy by the BoG.
Mr Cudjoe told Selorm Adonoo in an interview on The Big Issue on Citi TV on Saturday that “I was a bit surprised when those comments were attributed to the Central Bank Governor. I thought it was one of those fake postings but it turns out that it is actually true because he has not even recounted them and he has not even apologised for them.
“Indeed he wasn’t just insulting the demonstrators at the venue that day but he was virtually insulting almost everybody who has actually demonstrated before or will be demonstrating in the future.”
“In fact, I think what he should be thankful for is that the demonstrators were not violent…I kept saying that those people who are preventing people from demonstrating should rather be grateful that those demonstrating did not do so with sticks and guns.”
Mr Cudjoes explained that was because Ghanaians were legitimately angry about the actions of the government.
“I keep saying that about 70% of the current happenings right now are solely attributed to the government’s mismanagement of the economy. That is a settled argument,” he stated.
