A media personality, Bridget Otoo, has reacted to claims by some NPP propagandists regarding the recent increase in cement prices.
According to her, the previous government drove cement prices from GH¢32 to GH¢120, a situation she believes the opposition should be embarrassed about.
She noted that under the current administration, cement prices have only increased marginally by GH¢8.
On her X (formerly Twitter) page, she wrote, “I see many NPP foot soldiers lately trying to push the narrative that ‘cement is now 130 cedis,’ as some sort of big gotcha moment to rewrite a history we all lived through.
“It got me thinking, the NPP government drove the price of cement up from GH¢32 to GH¢120 a bag. Yet instead of being embarrassed by this, their supporters are complaining about a marginal increase of GH¢8,” she added.
Bridget Otoo also lamented the impact of cement price hikes on local suppliers, noting how many businesses struggled during that period.
“I saw many cement businesses buckle and fold, unable to keep up with rampant price hikes in the NPP era. I personally lost capital during that same period, and to this day, I’m still reeling from those losses,” she pointed out.
Bridget, who is also a cement supplier, urged citizens to allow the current government the space to work.
“If you truly care about cement prices, as any warm-blooded citizen should, simply allow the government to do the work it was elected for, to rebuild our currency and reset the economy after eight years of mismanagement. Let Ghanaians decide what the future holds,” she added.
