Afia Pokua, better known as the radio and television personality Vim Lady, has voiced concern that the government isn’t living up to its ideals.
It is discouraging, she said, that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has acknowledged the country’s economy is in crisis due to the waste in the system that continues to grow right under his nose.
The President’s recent travels, according to Vim Lady, are evidence that Ghanaians are still living in luxury despite the government’s pleas for frugality.
“When Mahama was in power, money liked noise but under Akufo-Addo they say money does not like noise. I’ve been told that the hardship is global. You compare yourselves to the leadership in the United Kingdom and other advanced worlds. These leaders use trains and buses as means of transport whiles you rest comfortably in your V8.
“You say we should buy Diesel at Ghc23 and Petrol at Ghc18 but you are not tightening your belt. You’re using a V8, you are chilling. You are not proving to the people that times are hard. I keep saying that the People around the President are failing him.
“They are endangering the life of the President because someone may pelt him stones on one of his tours. It’s annoying that we are buying fuel at exorbitant prices whiles the President travels with a long convoy on our expenses.”.
She found it surprising that the government of a nation asking the IMF for help would continue to live in luxury while its people starved to death.
Since the Vim lady is of the opinion that “charity starts at home,” she thinks it’s crucial that the President announce cutbacks in the White House.
