A member of the national communications team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ellen Ama Daaku has stated she spends GH¢2,000 a week on foodstuffs.
According to Ellen Ama Daaku, the NDC-led government under John Mahama after taking office after 6 months has not just doubled food inflation they have quadrupled it.
Speaking on Asaase Radio, Ellen Daaku stormed the studio with foodstuffs, Ellen Ama Daaku stated, “I spend GH¢2,000 a week on foodstuffs, and that doesn’t even include provisions,” she stated.
She claimed that the Palm oil under NPP was GH¢35; it is now sold at GH¢80.
“When the NDC took over in January, palm oil was GH¢35; it is now sold at GH¢80. These three medium-sized onions cost GH¢25. These three tomatoes, each one is GH¢7. This pepper is GH¢10. Three carrots now cost GH¢20,” she lamented.
“Why am I bringing all these? In just six months, food and clothing inflation haven’t just doubled, some have quadrupled.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians have reacted to the NPP’s communicators comments saying, “ Eeeiiii,naaaa how can you tell me this story 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just bought tomatoes right now 5 for Ghc10, nowadays now Ghanaians are wise oooh”.
Is she aware tomatoes, onions, pepper, carrots are seasonal crops and they abound only in their seasons?
