An enthusiastic supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has made a unique request to former President John Mahama. The supporter asked Mahama to reduce the price of kenkey, a traditional Ghanaian dish, to GH¢1 when he is sworn into office.
The request has sparked a mix of reactions on social media, with some users finding it amusing and others criticizing it as unrealistic. Kenkey is a staple food in Ghana, and its price is influenced by various market factors. It remains to be seen whether Mahama will respond to this unusual request.
The supporter’s request has also highlighted the economic concerns of ordinary Ghanaians. With the rising cost of living and food prices, many citizens are struggling to make ends meet. While the request for cheaper kenkey may be seen as a joke by some, it underscores the need for policymakers to address the country’s economic challenges and ensure that basic necessities like food are affordable for all.
In conclusion, the NPP supporter’s request to John Mahama to reduce the price of kenkey to GH¢1 may have started as a humorous appeal, but it has sparked a broader conversation about the economic realities facing Ghanaian citizens. As the country looks to the future, it is clear that addressing the rising cost of living and ensuring affordable access to basic necessities will be crucial in improving the lives of all Ghanaians.
