  Salaries never rose to the level of how prices of commodities rose.Throughout the inflation.no ones slaria in Ghana has increased even by x2.so meaning upon all the salary increases no one who was taking 1000 now takes 2000.maybe the person will taking like 1200 now..But things that use to see at 1000 new cells at 5000 etc.That is x5.so common sense tells u the salary workers are still disadvantaged.unless the things they used sell at 1000cedis come back to 1000cedis again before u tell salaries to be reduced.But we all know goods have increased by x6 x7 so it is stupidly to say salaries should be reduced.Don’t you know tgat salary workers has been disadvantaged by 6 times now.And Government has never been able to increase salaries according to how labor union’s demanded.So no matter the reduction in goods it will still not be enough to compensate how workers have been disadvantaged.All this while it is the salary earners that have been suffering because the business man has always relayed 100% of the inflation back to the consumer.Prices of commodities you buy and sell are going to reduce so it is directed related to your business.What do you want to do now.Buy something for 2 cedis and cell it 10gh.why should peoples salaries be of concern to you.All you want is the salary workers should be poor forever and struggle to buy common food forever I guess.Stupid blackMan.Bibini y3 aboa.

  What the GUTA President should understand is that the traders' stock may have been purchased when the dollar was selling at 16ghc. That stock needs to be finished before newer stock that were purchased at the increased Ghana cedi value hits the market. This should take about 2 to 3 weeks to filter in. What should come down now is transportation fares since petrol prices should reflect the current Ghana cedi value.

  The gullible and useless media is the problem. You are still referring to this man as a Dr. Whar kind bloody idiots do we have in Ghana practising journalism? These are semi-illiterates who do not read.
