Price hikes: Mr president, market women are killing us – Yaw Dabo cries

Kumawood actor, Yaw Dabo has expressed how sad he is about some developments in relations to the country during this Coronavirus season especially the conduct of market women.

According to the actor, government has done an amazing job by ensuring that subsidies are provided for people in the country by absorbing water and a fraction of the electricity bills.

He noted that government is also feeding the vulnerable in society; something he saw as worthy of commendation.

But Yaw Dabo is worried about the fact that some women who sell food, vegetables and other foodstuff have decided to cash in on the plight of Ghanaians to make unimaginable profits.

Dabo who said the amount he used in shopping has skyrocketed revealing that now even cassava which used to be five cedis is currently being sold for twenty cedis, while three fingers of plantain is being sold for fifteen cedis.

Yaw Dabo could not fathom why a fellow human will want to capitalize on a crisis to enrich him/herself when they are supposed to be humanitarian during this period.

The movies actor pleaded with the president and other stakeholders to handle the issues with regards to prices of products on the market or else that will rather kill people before covid-19 strikes.

“Share this video until it gets to the President and all other stakeholders in our country. Something needs to be done about these issues with all urgency because we cannot continue like this. President has given us free water and also subsidized our light for us but there’s one thing which we need to make the government take note of and that’s the price for foodstuff in this country. The market women have increased their prices to the highest levels and that has made life unbearable because we cannot buy food. Mr. President please you need to do something about it for us,” he said in a video sighted by MyNewsGh.com.
