I can't explain a story to someone without telling them multiple stories within that story.
I need you to have context and that context needs more context 😂😭
Chiefs’ allowances have been tripled in this economy? Interesting how there’s always money for optics but never enough for hospitals, schools, or basic services. Priorities say everything.
Ghanaians are painfully opportunistic when it comes to pricing. When the sachet water producers announced an increase, government stepped in to halt it, yet some still went ahead to raise prices anyway. What is even more troubling is that retailers of bottled water have also used it as an excuse to increase theirs.
Businesses are quick to raise prices at the slightest opportunity, but never ready to reduce them when conditions improve. Instead of fair competition protecting consumers, every rumor or announcement becomes a chance for them to maximize profit.
Imagine a country where businesses exploit basic necessities such as water and food. 🤦♀️
The problem is not just inflation; it is greed, weak enforcement, and the lack of accountability in our pricing culture. Until there is stronger regulation and a sense of social responsibility, consumers will continue to suffer whenever any small excuse arises.
The theme for AU Day 2026 is “Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems…”
But in Ghana, we’re battling every kind of water crisis and filth all over
Irrigation water? Polluted.
Safe drinking water? Almost nonexistent.

Look, Accra is expensive. I do not mean this in an exaggerated manner.
I mean it in the "this should be 1gh max, why is it going for 15gh????" type of expensive.
Greed. Greed. Greed. Greed.
