The recent publication of the Afrobarometer Report collected by the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) has revealed that 8 out of 10 Ghanaians have over the last year experienced some poverty over the last year.
According to the survey by the Afrobarometer, in the past 12 months in Ghana, eight out of ten Ghanaians representing 82% have experienced some degree of poverty.
The reports by the Afrobarometer further hit on the hardship Ghanaians face under the Akufo-Addo Bawumia government with the constant depreciation of the cedi and rising food prices.
The Akufo-Addo Bawumia government has however constantly blamed external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war for Ghanaians’ severe hardship.
Unfortunately, President Akufo-Addo and his government have been very reluctant to admit the truth even when it stares at them right in the face.
The Afrobarometer report is a Pan-African, non-partisan survey research network that provides trustworthy data on African occurrences and assessments of democracy, governance, and quality of life.
Its goal is to give African citizens a voice in policy and decision-making.
