Ordinary Ghanaians Can't Breathe. Transportation Fare Hike Is Choking Us.

Feature Article Ordinary Ghanaians Can't Breathe. Transportation Fare Hike Is Choking Us.
JUL 9, 2020 LISTEN

Should the hike in transport fare be blamed on the commercial drivers? The answer is NO. It has become very clear that H.E President Nana Akuffo Addo and his Vice Bawumia have failed Ghanaian big time. This government is not sensitive to the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian.

The ordinary Ghanaian can't breathe under the leadership of President Nana Akuffo. The needless introduction of some destructive policies like the banking sector reform has seriously escalated the already existing hardship.

As if that was not enough, this government is sitting aloof while watching Ghanaian pay more for fuel. What have we done as Ghanaians to deserve this kind of treatment? The hike in transportation would lead to high cost of living.

Ghanaians should not blame the commercial drivers for increasing transportation fares. These drivers agreed with the government to load fewer passengers due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead of coming up with policies to help reduce fuel prices, the government claims it cannot do anything about it. Who is this government serving? Is the government serving the interest of the few Oil Marketing Company's or the majority of the Ghanaians?

The blame must be put on President Nana Akuffo Addo and his Vice Bawumia for being extremely insensitive to the plight of ordinary Ghanaians. Why? This is not the change Ghanaians voters for in 2016.

Ghanaians cannot breathe and would not go for 4more4nana to do more. Four More for what? Is it four More of the extreme hardship and failed leadership?

I shall return
