According to a report from Citinewsroom.com, he added that it would affect everything from transportation to food to other aspects of Ghanaians' lives.
"The difficulties they face will increase. For example, a gallon of gas will actually be close to one more cedi.
It's huge and it's going to affect everything, not just transportation; the food will be affected. Many more difficulties will come.
At a time when you have difficulties, Ghanaians take a lot of comfort in social media, making fun of jokes and so on, which has also resulted in a tax increase, " he said.
Kwetey further noted that it was urgent to realize that the government could not handle the reality on the ground.
By the way, former President John Dramani Mahama badured each of the six newly created hospital population areas that he won the 2020 elections.
Interacting with the residents of Techiman in the Bono East area, he said the plan was a policy of the National Congress of Democracy (NDC).
The insurance came after the inauguration of an office complex for the NDC in the region. According to him, the NDC has never lied to the Ghanaian people and therefore would not start now.
