Veteran Ghanaian actor, Kofi Adu, known as Agya Koo, has commented on the current economic challenges, stating that they are not unique to Ghana.
He observed that nearly everywhere, including Europe, Asia, and the United States, people face economic difficulties that cause hardship and make it tough for those trying to make a living.
He urged those who are unemployed and critical of the economy to seek employment and accept the salary they receive.
In an interview with One Ghana TV, Agya Koo suggested that Ghana's reliance on imports should be reconsidered in favor of local production.
"The economic comfort is a myth worldwide. In places like Europe, Asia, and the USA, hardships are evident, with some individuals even lacking proper documentation for employment.
"Excessive imports could be replaced with local production, which becomes a lesson during tough times. You have to work to earn an income and stop complaining about the amount," he noted when asked about the economic hardship in the country.
Agya Koo's remarks come at a time when the declining state of Ghana's economy has sparked protests and online demonstrations by dissatisfied citizens.
