Kwabena Duncan says it’ll be an insult to Ghanaians if Mahama puts himself up for re-election

According to them, the removal of subsidies has worsened the already difficult conditions of ordinary Ghanaian.

In a press statement jointly signed by Kofi Asamoah, Secretary General of TUC, ICU’s Morgan Ayawine, GNAT’s B.K. Osei, CLOSSAG’s J. N. O Ankrah and GMA’s Kwabena Opoku Adusei, organized labour emphasized that: “These astronomical price hikes have become the hallmark of government and governance” and added that a subsidy regime on petroleum products was necessary looking at the current economic challenges.

It said there was “a limit to what workers and their families could tolerate” and pledged that in the coming days, it will, “in collaboration with other stakeholders, use all legitimate means to express its disapproval of not only the current pricing regime for fuel and other utilities, but equally and importantly on the prevailing economic and social conditions”.

However, Kwamena Duncan does not believe anything good can come out of their posturings.

According to him, “I take their comment sometimes with a pinch of salt. We have a TUC who will raise people’s hope and do nothing…while they have shown this red card, they ought to insist on it until government does something.”
