The Sissala West District Director of National Commission on Civic Education, Miss Alice Habibata Ibrahim Jinsun, has denied allegations that the new currency was meant to support the NPP government to promote the party's political ambitions in the 2008 general elections.
She appealed to people spreading such rumours to collaborate with the educators to ensure that people, particularly in the rural areas, got used to the new currency.
Miss Jinsun, who was taking the people through the new currency at Kuntulo and Jeffisi, said it was not fair for people to capitalize on a national policy to win political points as the truth would one day haunt such perpetrators.
The educational programme also took the team to Gwollu, Sorbelle, Jawia, Fielmua, Bullu, among other major villages in the Sissala West District.
She said: "We are all Ghanaians and whatever decisions are taken by the government binds us and so I find it unfair for people to be going round to peddle unfounded lies on policies that are for us all".
The NCCE Director also advised the people to resist any attempts from people who would come to them with the intention of exchanging the money for them.
