 Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo looks on as he attends the opening of the International Labor Organization (ILO) International Labour Conference Speaking in an interview with Class FM, he lamented on how flimsy reasons were given for the adjustments in tariffs.

He added that if the reasons they gave, for increments were taken into consideration, then there should be a reduction rather than an increment.

“President Nana Addo is hypocritical; he never says the truth, he says A and going B. We expect him to apologise to the people of Ghana that he misled them and painted President Mahama black by saying that under President Mahama, rent was lower than electricity.”
