IMANI Africa Founder and President, Franklin Cudjoe, expressed his disappointment over a viral video showing a man complaining about the hardship he and his family are experiencing under the current government of Ghana.
In a Facebook post on July 30, 2023, Cudjoe sympathized with the man's message, agreeing with his statement that the government of former President John Dramani Mahama was far better than the current administration.
The man in the video, who appears to be in his late 30s or early 40s, spoke about the suffering of Ghanaians under the current government, noting that most people are afraid to speak out about their hardships for fear of being attacked. He expressed his frustration with the government's economic policies, which he feels have worsened the country's economic conditions.
The man highlighted several examples of the rising costs of goods and services, including the price of sardines, which was sold for GH¢3 under the Mahama administration, but now costs GH¢11 under the current government. He also cited the increased cost of transportation, basic amenities, and food items such as Pepsodent, which has risen from GH¢5 to GH¢18.
The man's frustration with the government's perceived inaction in addressing the economic hardships faced by Ghanaians was palpable in the video, and it struck a chord with many viewers who shared his sentiments.
Cudjoe's statement on the matter also gained significant attention on social media, with many Ghanaians expressing similar grievances about the current state of the country's economy.
The video and subsequent reactions from Ghanaians highlight the need for the government to prioritize addressing the economic challenges faced by its citizens. While there are no easy solutions to the complex issues facing the country, it is crucial for policymakers to take a proactive and inclusive approach to addressing the concerns of ordinary Ghanaians.
In conclusion, the sentiments expressed in the viral video and the subsequent reactions from Ghanaians underscore the importance of listening to the concerns of citizens and working towards solutions that can improve their quality of life.
The government must take steps to address the economic challenges facing the country, and ensure that the needs and aspirations of all Ghanaians are taken into account in its policy decisions.
