The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has expressed concern over the rising cost of living in Ghana, warning that increasing fuel prices are placing significant strain on citizens.
In a post shared on X, Ahiagbah criticized the administration of John Dramani Mahama, stating that current economic conditions are worsening for many Ghanaians.
According to Ahiagbah, recent increases in fuel prices are having a ripple effect across the economy, particularly impacting transportation costs and the prices of goods and services.
“Fuel prices are going up again, and the cost of living keeps getting worse. Ghanaians are suffering,” he wrote.
He noted that higher transport fares are affecting everyday essentials, including sachet water—commonly referred to as “pure water” which many rely on daily.
Ahiagbah also accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of inconsistency in handling fuel price increases.
He recalled that during the tenure of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the NDC had strongly criticized similar hikes, describing them at the time as a sign of poor leadership and economic mismanagement.
“Today, under President Mahama, the same crisis is being blamed on global factors. What has changed?” Ahiagbah questioned.
The NPP communicator called for what he described as honest leadership and practical relief measures to ease the burden on citizens.
