Hardship is set to worsen in Ghana under Akufo-Addo, Bawumia – says Mahama

 

Former President John Mahama has stated that economic hardship is set to worsen in Ghana under President Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He made this known in his May Day message to Ghanaian workers.

According to him, on the occasion of May Day, “Unfortunately, in Ghana, we are going through unbearable hardship and suffering from an ever-increasing cost of living.”

He stated that “Incidentally, an increase in existing taxes & introduction of new ones, and which take effect from today, May Day, is leading to steep rises in the prices of fuel, food & every basic item.”

He added that “This will worsen the plight of citizens even further. This is in addition to power outages and shortage of water in many homes, cities and municipalities.”

“On this May Day 2021, with hardship set to worsen, I call on His Excellency President Nana Akufo-Addo to stretch a hand of cooperation to all Ghanaians, able to play a role in rescuing our dear nation from the abyss it is falling.”

“On this occasion of May Day, as I salute the suffering workers of Ghana and all Ghanaians, let me also take the opportunity to wish the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, well and urge him to take the measures needed to bring relief to suffering Ghanaians,” Mr. Mahama observed.

“In addition, I encourage the President and his close associates to seize the occasion to create an atmosphere that is more tolerant of criticism and devoid of intimidation in order for the media, CSOs and individuals to freely express themselves and contribute to national discourse.”

“We in the NDC stand ready to play our part in offering constructive suggestions that will bring Ghana back onto a path of growth and prosperity.”
