The founder and 2020 presidential candidate of the All Peoples Congress Dr. Hassan Ayariga has advised Ghanaians and the media to Rise above pettiness and speak up on the ailing economy the country is facing.
In a press conference organized by the party, Dr. Ayariga bemoaned how some Ghanaians who have been loud in criticizing past administrations have suddenly gone shut over the way the country is moving.
“Our country is on it’s knees due to the silence from the clergy, peace council, some civil society organizations whose voices have always been loud enough at other times but have suddenly gone to sleep and not awaken. What has changed? Let’s rise above pettiness and greed. Let’s speak truth to power and save our country from sinking.
Ghanaians are suffering, many cannot even afford three square meals a day. The hardship is killing people slowly. Let’s not be afraid and refuse to talk on behalf of our people who do not have a voice of their own. The indiscipline is one too many and something must be done now to curb the situation before it gets to an uncontrollable situation. Fuel prices and other utilities tariffs are on the rise almost every day, transport fares are increasing every day and thereby worsening the plight of the citizens. Cost of goods and services keep rising as if there is no economic management team in government. Rising energy prices, tougher financial conditions and rising food prices has hit our economy badly. Many are in deplorable situations and a looming state of state collapse”.
He advised that Ghanaians wake up and fear not to speak up on the bad governance the Akuffo Addo government is putting the nation through.
Speaking on the economy, Dr. Ayariga states that Ghanaians are dying slowly due to the economic hardship the country is undergoing.
“Ghanaians are suffering, many people cannot even afford three square meals a day. The hardship is killing people slowly “ He said.
