While lamenting on the rising cost of living as a result of skyrocket price of food stuff and other dependable commodities, Hon Bawah expressed sadness that Akufo-Addo had refused to heed wise counsel from the NDC and Ghanaians against the appointment over 120 Ministers of state, the over 1000 presidential staffers and level of borrowing.
He said, President Akufo-Addo\u2019s rejection of the advice had left the nation with no hope of any solution to the current economic crisis and its attendant hardship on Ghanaians.
In his view, it now clear to all that President Akufo-Addo -led NPP Government is bent on wrecking the nation, instead of abating the situation which he said is getting worse.
Hon Bawah also accused the government of deceiving Ghanaians in its recent of increment of wages by 30 percent and in few days increase utility tariffs to over 29 percent.
He said: \u201cI am deeply concerned by the cost of living crisis, which is daily worsened by the hyper inflation inflated on Ghanaians by the ineptitude of the Akufo-Addo administration. A price of Bag of Maize which uses to be GHS200 is today is about GHS600.00, and more hardship is ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
