Actress Lydia Forson has added her voice to the dissent views being expressed by Ghanaians owing to the decline in the standard of living under the tutelage of Nana Akufo Addo as prices of goods and services keep skyrocketing.
Her comment follows the shocking revelation made by the management of the Ghana Water Company (GWCL) proposing to the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to increase water tariffs.
This was preceded by the same announcement made by the Ghana Electricity of Ghana which intends to have proposed a 148% increment for 2022.
The power distribution company is apparently seeking upward adjustment of its tariff in order to reduce the frequent power outage which is popularly known as dumsor.
“The objective underpinning this Tariff Proposal is to obtain a cost-reflective tariff that will enable GRIDCo improve the service levels and quality thresholds, and importantly enhance the company’s sustainability.
It has become increasingly expensive to maintain the legacy assets and upgrade the transmission infrastructure to reduce congestions within the National Interconnected Transmission System (NITS),” GRIDCo said in the proposal.
In this regard, the outspoken Ghanaian actress said apart from everything rising astronomically, salaries have remained the same. “Everything is increasing except salaries,” she said in a fresh post shared on Twitter.
Agreeing to the post, @Mr_Dadzie tweeted wrote. “Chale… I don’t think I can survive on my salary till the month-end even. Hot y3mi ooh“,
@KingLexis9 adding that “how are we gonna survive this if everything keeps increasing except wanna salaries, Ghana hard rough”.

Everything including the size of your breast is increasing....
Awuraba artificial find some work to do and it will keep you busy so that you will not think about politics. Sell one of your fleet of cars and start a business, you are not better than the waakye sellers in Nima, bread sellers at Nsawam/Adoagyiri, awurumo dokono at Osino. Papano will not come to power again to shower money on you so called celebrities like Christmas biscuit.
Is the same everywhere else in the world. Inflation is rising across the world, cost of living has dramatically risen even strong economies such as US, UK and Germany; Ghana is not an island! Salaries have not been increased in these powerful countries because cost of living has risen. Some of these tibonkoso so-called celebrities and social media commentators should learn to situate their comments well.
When in Ghana or which government increased salary as prices increased? Again which government in the world does that?Hournesty is very vital in Ghana politics
