A Ghanaian has heaped praises on President John Dramani Mahama after buying a ball of kenkey for a reduced price of GHS 3 at Agyeman Pentecost Junction in Labadi Town.
In the viral video, the Ghanaian expresses surprise and excitement as he is captured purchasing two balls of Kenkey he bursts into celebration when he is informed of the price of the Kenkey shouting joyfully and singing while invoking President Mahama’s name in gratitude.
“A ball of kenkey is GH¢3? John Mahama, Onaapo! Within the next two or three months, it will be GH¢2. God bless you,” he stated.
Some Ghanaians have reacted saying, “Are u guys tryna tell me Ghana has reach a point where u buy corn or corn dough with dollars waow..I called my old woman yesterday and she says Kenkey is 5 and 7gh so what the man has posted could be settings..maybe he also want dollars from the NDC camp”.
“Its not a new thing I live in Labadi kenkey has always been cheap here you can get some in our area for 2 cedis and it’s big”, another wrote.
“Affordable Kenkey vibes, nothing beats a good deal and some praise! What’s your favourite street food find lately?”.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) and the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) have revealed they have set a 60-day window for prices to be cut in relation to the appreciation of the Ghana cedis.
On Wednesday, May 14, the Minister for Trade and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare met the Trade Unions about the growing calls for the cedi appreciation to meet market prices.
According to GUTA and AGI prices on the market remain the same due to the older stock acquired at previous, higher rates still on the market.
AGI President, Dr. Humphrey Ayim-Darke added, “We commend the government and also want to state that we are committed to reflecting these gains in our pricing. Prices are ultimately determined by the forces of supply and demand. We believe sincerely that within the 60 days; the impact of the stronger cedi will be seen in the wholesale and retail prices.”
