Yen Tua na KromAyeShe: Ghanaians scream at Akufo-Addo’s Tariff Hikes

Ahead of the AriseGhana Press Conference on the Killer Utility Tariffs the government is attempting to introduce;

The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) has called for the suspension of the Utility Tariff price increases announced by PURC.

Ghanaians from all walks of life, interviewed by the media have expressed their anger and intent to resist the imposition of the Tariffs especially after government imposed several taxes and levies aimed at collecting the supposed COVID-19 support including Free Electricity and Free Water; which was in reality a vote buying gimmick ahead of the 2020 election.

The resultant economic meltdown and hardship resulting from the pre-election spending by government is being borne by Ghanaians in addition to the E-LEVY and other burdens like hiles in fuel and food prices.

Most Ghanaians are pained because they feel deceived but even more because of the evidence that COVID-19 funds were actually given to NPP party people for the sake of winning the 2020 election as narrated by a parliamentary candidate in the 2020 election who gave details of how the COVID-19 money was distributed among Parliamentary candidates and other NPP executives across board.

The fact that neither President Akufo-Addo through the Attorney General nor the Special Prosecutor so motto has arrested nor commenced any investigation in the wake of the abuse, misappropriation and misaplication of the Sophia Akuffo led COVID-19 Funds confirms its widespread abuse, the price of which Ghanaians are paying in the new Tariff Hike…

Salaries including the COLA cannot be paid if government doesn’t through the backdoor using Tarrif Hikes etc to take away money from the already squeezed Ghanaian…

The inefficiency of the Electricity and Water Company, coupled with the effects of the Galamsey pollution of rivers is being passed on to the squeezed Ghanaian…

The failure of President Akufo-Addo’s fight against Galamsey resulting in high cost of water production, increased cost of food due to destruction of farmlands and cocoa farms which is threatening the Dollar denominated Cocoa Syndicated Loan which helps in strengthening the Cedi, is being passed on to the squeezed Ghanaian…

Ghanaians are being made to pay for the free fall of the Cedi against the Dollar and the hopelessness of the Bank of Ghana and the useless economic management team which has successfully navigated Ghana’s Economy to Junk Status and the Cedi to being designated the worst currency on planet Earth.

In the mean time President Akufo-Addo is unwilling to Sack or Reshuffle his incompetent Ministers and Appointees whose abysmal performance he describes as outstanding…

President Akufo-Addo is determined to build his Cathedral despite his inability to pay Salaries, School Feeding nor subsidise Water and Electricity as Ghanaians reel under the huge burden imposed on them by his government’s ineptitude manifest by the misplaced priorities, pervasive corruption and acute plundering of the public purse happening under his watch.

If Ghana does not make an immediate U-TURN…

If the Free SHS Policy review does not revert to “the Progressively Free Education based on the availability of resources” as contained in Article 25 of the 1992 Constitution which was being pursued by Former President John Mahama with the emphasis on infrastructure and quality education, then the entire Ghanaian Education System is doomed.

Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators; Chiefs, Lawyers, Civil Society and indeed everybody including NPP stalwarts and footsoldiers have started speaking up against the maladministration by the Akufo-Addo government.

AriseGhana Youth for your country.

Ghana’s Cedi is just a step behind the Sri Lankan Rupee and its Family Government a step away from the fate of the Sri Lankan Family Government…

God Save Our Homeland Ghana…
