Sagnarigu MP Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini stormed the legislature with a ball of kenkey and a piece of fish to emphasise his point about Ghana’s challenges.
The MP emphasised how under the Akufo-Addo led administration, basic meals like “kenkey and fish” have suddenly transformed into a luxury in his statements on the low standard of life in the country.
As Mr. Fuseini stated at the 2023 budget review in parliament, the true state of the economy can be seen in local markets and streets where the price of inexpensive things has drastically increased.
“Mr. Speaker, they said the evidence of the sweetness of a pudding is not in the aroma but in the actual food. The real issue of the management of the economy vis-à-vis the impact on the lives of our people are clear. Mr. Speaker, before your distinguished guests last year, (Brings out a ball of kenkey from his bag). This ball of kenkey, even though it has suffered some kwashiorkor was GHC2.0 but today it is GH4.0. Mr. Speaker, (Brings out a fish from his bag) this fish was GHC6.0. last year but now it’s GHC12.0. I bought this kenkey at the Adabraka kenkey house,” he stated.
However, he attributed the seeming collapse of the nation’s economy to the economic management team’s alleged incompetence.
“It is abundantly clear that through the incompetence of this government, especially the economic management team and the minister of finance. This economy has been driven into a ditch,” he added.
