NPP Traders Responsible For Current Crisis
Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, Greater Accra Regional
Minister, has accused traders in the country of
arbitrarily increasing the prices of their goods
to make the Mahama government unpopular, adding
that they are doing so because they are members of
the NPP.

But third National Vice Chairman of the NPP,
Fredrick Fredua Antoh, has described the claim by
the minister as ‘senseless’, wondering if it
is the NPP is responsible for the recent hikes in
fuel and utility prices, school fees, cement and
other essential commodities in the country.

Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, who was speaking on Adom
FM’s ‘Burning Issues,’ also insisted that
claims by the suffering people that ‘times are
hard’, is not true. According to him, life is
rather getting better under the Mahama
government.

The NDC Founder, former President Jerry John
Rawlings, recently described the economy as
“hard”, explaining that cost of school fees
and foodstuffs had become so expensive that “you
have to count millions just to buy plantain and
yams.”

“A carton of milk which used to sell at Ghc35 is
now selling at Ghc60. Hmm, it’s not easy o,' Mr.
Rawlings lamented.

However, the Greater Accra Regional Minister
insists the condition is rather getting better,
and that the NDC administration is doing its best
to ensure economic growth, whose the benefits will
soon be seen by all.
