Some Ghanaian celebrities lament rising fuel prices and economic hardship in Ghana

Some Ghanaian musicians and actresses have shared their frustrations about the growing economic uncertainty and the continues rise in fuel prices in the country.

There seem to be no end in sight concerning the precarious economic situation in Ghana at the moment.

This year, fuel prices have been adjusted upwards three times and it is only the third month since the year begun.

Today, Wednesday, March 16 2022, the Institute of Energy Security has reported a 5% increment in fuel prices.

The Ghana Cedi is now worth 7.31 compared to a United States dollar.

The situation of the dollar also makes it difficult not only for Ghana’s import dependent economy to thrive, but the country’s debt levels will continue to soar as it will need more dollars to settle them.

This has prompted 3 musicians and 3 actresses to highlight their concerns on Twitter.

While some are contemplating buying horses to find a way to circumvent hiking fuel prices others completely staying indoors to conduct their business.

However many have pointed out that, the worsening economic conditions is because of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
