The former first lady of Ghana at the start week told visiting African women that the country’s economy is not in a decent shape.
At that same assembly Mrs. Rawlings labeled Ghana as one of the most costly countries to live in on the region.
But the Spokesman for the Rawlingses Kofi Adams has been speaking on behalf of the former first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings’in defense of her recent statements about the state of the economy.
Mr. Kofi Adams states that the former first lady’s declaration cannot be disputed because the cost of living is now high.
He gave this comments on Joy FM’s news analysis platform Newsfile Saturday which is also telecasted on MultiTV.
“Gradually, Ghana in some areas is becoming a little bit expensive. I happen to be in the Western Region…in 2009, this year I happen to visit Western Region again and cost of some basic things have all of a sudden shot up,” he said. Mr Adams quoted the Vice-president, Mr John Dramani Mahama, whom he said “had cause to even complain about the cost of hotel accommodation where in some of the star hotels…the minimum they will take about $200 or $250 a night.”
