Yuletide Season: Koforidua sex workers reduces Fees to Attract Customers
As partbof economic strategies to woo more customers and clients, commercial sex workers within the Koforidua enclave have reduced their charges rates.
“We have reduced our prices to make Christmas exciting for you so come and patronise us,” some commercial sex workers at Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital have shockingly revealed.
The sex workers told local news reporters that their businesses have gone down for the past months due to the economic hardship, hence the reduction of fees to entice clients and to get more customer at affordable rate.
They claimed business has been down and most of them.have gone broke and the only way to revive their businesses is to devise ways to get more customers.
“For some time now, business has been bad due to complaints of the current economic hardship. We have lost most of our customers because they also find it difficult to afford our prices”.
“Before the economic crises, we use to charge at least Ghc50 for a short time and an average of Ghc150 for night service but as we speak to you now, we barely get half of the above charges, and this is a big problem to us” some sex workers lamented.
However, they are urging male patronisers to resort to them for their services as they are willing to beat down the price as a way of helping to cushion them from economic hardship.
“We know things are hard now so we are prepared to accept as low as Gh20 for short time and Ghc80-Ghc100 night services,” a worker told a local media reporter.
The Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua has been the hub of sex workers and has seen an increase in commercial sex workers over the past years.
The activities has been a major burden on city authorities who seem not to succeed in taking them off the regional capital.
Most of these sex workers have traveled as far distance from Kasoa, Ho, Accra and neighboring Togo and Benin to get more clients .
