Ghana’s Deputy Ambassador to China, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie has called on Ghanaians to stop complaining of hardship in the country.
According to the former Ablekuma North MP, Ghana’s economic situation is 90 percent better than several foreign countries saying in spite of the global hardship, the Akufo Addo administration is working to improve standards of living.
Citing China as an example, the Deputy Ambassador observed that the huge taxes and poor salary renumeration in China has worsened their economic situation insisting that Ghana is even better than China.
“There’s hardship in Europe. I am the deputy ambassador for China and I can say things are difficult in China and Ghana is better than many other foreign countries including China. The citizens in China pay huge taxes and they do not earn any better salary too,” she said.
“People are committing suicide and others are being arrested for engaging in criminalities so I can say that Ghana is better.”
Speaking to Kumasi-based Oyerepa TV she appealed to Ghanaians to tone down on the criticisms against the government.
“Stop complaining of hardships and ask God to give President Akufo-Addo the needed wisdom to govern. President Akufo Addo is doing very well,” she told Morning Show host, Kwesi Parker-Wilson.
Her comment comes on the back of series of complains by a section of the populace who are lamenting the harsh economic conditions in the country.
