Mixed sentiments expressed over new designs on currency notes

Since the first announcement of a change in the currency design in July 2023, many had opposed the decision.  Some had called for a referendum prior to the change, some were indifferent towards the decision and others were in full support.  With the dispensation today, our newsroom gathered samples in the court of public opinion across the country.  For those in opposition, the sentiment seemed to be rooted in a lack of information and cynicism. 

As our reporters and correspondents spoke to various residents, we found many were in favor of the change in currency design.

According to the Central Bank Governor, old currency notes have never been demonetized, meaning that the old notes will still be legal tender indefinitely. /
