Prices of building materials increase; iron rods and cement hardest hit.
Dr Mahamud Bawumia are been asking of prices of goods and services? . Dr Mahamud Bawumia you taunt yourself as economic guru and you have the solid team in charge of affairs and Ghanaians have putting you in charge so why goods and services increase every one hour?
Now you and your solid economy management team are well to do so you people don't care about Ghanaians again, but posterity will continue to judge you people.
Ghanaians must change Dr Mahamud Bawumia and NPP party forever. Never should Dr Mahamud Bawumia and NPP party come close to power in Ghana.

I do not understand why the new price increments. This old price was based on when the Dollar was GHC 15 sometime ago. When the Dollar depreciated prices of these building materials stayed the same. Now that it has gone back to almost GHC 15. Prices are being increased again. Can we for once have laws in Ghana as a country? Who is in charge of unfair price control in Ghana?

Until we elect a government that believes in tangible productivity of everyday goods locally no Fiscal and Monetary policy tweaking will solve our economic woes, it has never worked over decades and will not work tomorrow.

This is an interesting phenomenon where locally produced goods like cement and rebar have increased in price and imported goods like steel sheets have reduced in prices despite over 20% devaluation and no significant price drop in the overseas market. Food for thought as for the reasons why?

Bawumia fundamentals has failed to tame the cedi as head of the EMT.. A quote by Nahana opoku agyeman. The cedi Bawumia arrested is now haunting and refuse to mention it in any of his campaign. He can run but cannot hide after collapsing the economy the reason why Nana Addo brought him as an economic guru. He is an empty barrel and clueless.

We have to program our minds to understand that the world economy all around the world is crushing and nothing is going to be easier anymore. More hard times will come. Grow up Africans and know that the world we live in will not be easier anymore. No one can make it better, we live in the last days.

The same thing will happen when Mahama comes back. We Africans can't rule ourselves period. We have been complaining since independence, and still complaining of hardships. The country has no future. Ghana is a very rich country GOLD COAST but, citizens are begging for common water, food and toilets. WATER IS LIFE STOP GALAMSEY, CORRUPTIONS, AND MISMANAGEMENTS. God has blessed us with an abundance of natural resources but the brains are not working. Africa must learn to produce for themselves. We don't manufacture anything in the country because the brains are not working as we see in China, and Korea
