A Member of NDC’s Upper East Regional Communications Team, Alfred Awuni has said the financial woes of the ordinary Ghanaian are extremely dire under the current political dispensation. He said while there have always been complaints about the suffering of Ghanaians under previous governments, the situation under the current Akufo Addo-led administration is unheard of.
He shared these sentiments when he spoke to Samuel Mbura on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show. He claimed that no day goes by without increment in the prices of goods and services on the Ghanaian market. He explained that the situation has made life unbearable for the ordinary Ghanaian.
Mr. Awuni suggested that most of government’s policies were not properly thought through thus the many challenges during the implementation processes citing the Free Senior High School Policy as a critical example. He opined that the Free SHS policy may not necessarily be achieving its purpose due to improper implementation adding that the situation even forces parents to still spend money in a bid to allow their children access better education.
He backed NAGRAT’s move to strike to drive home their many concerns. “The teachers are representing public sector workers and they feel what any other person also feels. Is it not true that the economy is out of hand, to the extent that the increment on just common bag of maize [is huge],” he said.
He added that “a good way of compensating teachers should be drawn up for all their heart desires to come to pass”.
