Your Excellency,
H.E. John Dramani Mahama,
This message is shared in the spirit of responsible citizenship and constructive engagement. While this page is not ordinarily used for political commentary, it is being used on this occasion solely to respectfully draw your attention to a market-level challenge that persists despite the clear economic progress achieved under your leadership. The intention is not to assign blame, but to highlight an issue that affects the everyday Ghanaian and merits attention as the nation moves toward 2026.
First of all, credit must be given where it is due. The economy has seen stability, fuel prices have reduced significantly, and road infrastructure across the country shows clear evidence of a national reset. On these fronts, Mr. President, you have done well.
However, respectfully, there is a small but serious problem on the groundβand this one is not government failure, but people failure.
Despite the improved economic conditions, some ordinary, everyday commodities have refused to cooperate.
Take eggs, for example.
An egg is supposed to be affordableβaround GHS 1. But the market has other plans. Eggs are still confidently selling at GHS 3, and in some parts of Tamale, a single fried egg has climbed all the way to GHS 5. The chicken is calm, fuel is cheaper, but the egg seller is not moved.
Now let us talk about pure water (cool pac).
A basic necessity. One sachet now costs 50 pesewas. This raises a genuine question: has pure water been upgraded to a luxury item? Because for something that should quench thirst easily, it is slowly draining pockets.
Mr. President, these are just examples. Many similar basic commodities have refused to reduce in price, even though the economic indicators support a reduction. This suggests that while government policies are working, compliance at the market level is not.
The reset has startedβbut it has not fully reached the market woman, the retailer, and the middleman.
This message is not to complain, but to draw your attention so that going into 2026, there can be stronger monitoring, education, and enforcement to ensure that when the economy improves, the ordinary Ghanaian actually feels it at the market.
comment and share till it gets to the president!!!
