The Akufo-Addo government must urgently bring stability to the Ghanaian economy as a cost of living crisis has imposed hardship across sectors, triggering widespread protests in Accra.
How will the government respond?Traders at Adum in the Ashanti Region on Monday 17 October jeered at President Akufo-Addo’s convoy while on his way to inspect construction works at the Kumasi Central Market.
A week earlier they had closed their shops to protest the fast depreciation of the cedi, rising inflation and high lending rates.
This incident from a region that has stayed loyal to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) highlights the frustrations caused by Ghana’s cost of living crisis.
