Ghanaweb, please take off this publication and work on it. The editorial should read carefully again
Kwesi Pratt Jnr at his age shd know that rice is not a staple food of Ghana, for him to be using it as a yardstick. There are other commodities like Milk, Milo,Fish,USA Tombrown etc which have gone up.
Say no to islam and convert to a real religion.

Hey Ghanaweb, pull down this story with immediate effect. Edit it properly before reposting.
There something that should be highlighted and that is the Ghanaian business person is a very wicked person. They always used the depreciating cedi to increase prices but have not seen the need to adjust prices in line with t ...

True talk. It's the unspoken truth about that Ghanaian character...dishonesty that has plagued citizens for so long. Very wicked
Even in government,these nonsense people were always churning and throwing out lies to the people,so wat do you expect of them in opposition with a super micro representation in parliament? People I know in Ghana dat I speak ...

You are absolutely right; in fact, they are not only very wicked but also abnormally greedy.
I don't think Ghanaweb has editors. Almost every article they post has errors.
You are idiot descendant of pigs
All the prophets were Muslims including Jesus Christ
Prophet Muhammad Moses and Jesus peace be upon them use to bow down when praying to God we never saw Jesus singing and dancing
Do you know what is staple food in Ghana if rice is not one of them
Consult your grandfather or grandmother they will tell you rice is not a staple food of Ghanaians .1983 famine made rice popular. Fufu,Banku,Akple,Tuo Zaafi,Ampesi,Kokonte etc are our staple foods.
Bingo!!!
Forget what your grandparents told you; things have changed and rice is eaten more than any other "staple food" in Ghana today.
When you are a hypocrites journalist this is what happens. I don't know if he still remembers the 25 000 dollars! No integrity!!!
Ghanaians eat way too much rice. You rarely see much greens, salads in the diet. Eat basmati rice
Dirt and dust everywhere. These people don't care about their communities because the leaders, most don't care..go to dansoman and ask any resident there to take you to their mps office. They don't know, it dosent exist..ever ...

jonny is an idiot rice has become a staple food more than banku and fufu and this idiot should know better and allow Pratt to make his point
If those food items are few in the market, their price will be high. This is simple or elementary economics. How many Ghanaians will go after US Tombrown?
Rice is NOT a staple in Ghana according to you, but USA TOM BROWN is? I am confused here, come again!
"Rice is not a staple food of Ghana" according to you, but USA Tom Brown is? I am confused here, so please come again.
That 10 Billion USA Dollars President Mahama used to support the depreciation of the Ghana Cedi, could have been used to boost our export drive.That would have had a more natural effect on our Cedi.What he is doing is artific ...

@ Vivian

You are never serious in life
If you doubt, just go to the bank of Ghana main entrance when entering from the SIC mall direction. There's a waakye joint there, under the tree opposite that entrance, buy some and come back with your report. We are all wait ...

Grown men always engaging in childish behavior..of all the problems in the country you shoukd be proposing solutions for. You are talking about rice? You People eh....
Ghana rice is expensive. Water and electricity are 5-10 times what a Chinese or Thailand producer pay. Shipping rice from Thailand is cheaper than shipping it from Volta region to Accra
Kwesi, what about building materials? Man shall not live by bread alone.....
Pratt has shown his real colour
@Papakyene has Pratt a colour and if he has is he any different from you and I or he comes from Mars, even Mars we see colours.What a stupid comment Papakyene.
@ Kweku
Reason and comprehend my submission.
I dont blame ppl like u, your parents feed u so u Wont understand our cry.
Continue insulin.
This article is confusing.
Eaxactly. I am confused too
People living in reality in this country knows that prices of all commodities have come down, from food items, to building materials, electronics and alike. But for those living in illusion, may things continue to be expensiv ...

@ Asky
I don't think you drink Milo or eat fresh fish in your house.I don't want to add Nido, Yam and other foods.
No prices have been increased. Prices have rather been reduced or at worse have remained stable. Unlike last year. A typical NPP supporter already wants to buy at a higher cost just to score political points. In fact they wa ...

Only those living artificial lives don't feel the scorchy living standards of the Ghanaian.
Just allow them.
@ Ama
Dont waste ur breath, these r the ones that r fed by their mothers.
They dont Even know anything abt prices.
Rent , Electricity , Water etc r all taken care of by papa or maame.
Ignore these big headed kids
The Ghanaweb editor must go through the story again and do a better right up to address the inconsistencies. Because they don't make reasonable readings.
Kong Farms rice price for 5kg x 5 bag still same.
No reduction....Two months ago it was 450 cedis per bag.
You wrote the story to discredit pratt.
Read what you write. How does the one who said you are the only one buying expensive rice be the same saying prices are not down ...
Its a shame in ghana web
The seller sold the rice at a cheaper price to Kwasi Pratt because they knew him.His mouth doesn't sleep and always supporting negatively. No matter you speak positively for the government you will not be given any appointmen ...

I am confused who is against what
DON'T MIND KWESI'S HYPOCRICY. HE'S EATING LARGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT'S FANTE CONFEDERATION OFFICE. FREE FUEL COUPONS, QUALITY RICE EVEN CLOTHING. WHE!!! KWESI'S PARTY HAS COME.
KOKOFU, the name its self tells it all, old man like you lying on live television
I call him Akukor funu. Not Kokofu. He fool pass Bob Cole
Ghanaweb did not do a good job here. They interchanged Pratt with Kokofu.
Kwasi Pratt the Rat is a foolish person. Anyi NPP xill kill him
Deranged beings like yourself.
This write up has been poorly done. Is it Kokofu or Kwesi Pratt who claimed that prices have not reduced?
Ghanaweb, do a better job. I watched the show. You attribute Kokofu's argument to Pratt and vice versa in a lot of paragraphs.Your reporting is confusing. You need to pull this story.
Kokofu konkonsa man. A trickster sacked from EPA. But for Assenso Boakye, he would've been roaming in npp just like that because of his konkonsa character. He and some few greedy individuals has destroyed npp in Ashanti regio ...

I totally agree with Mr. Kwesi Pratt. This guy with a Neo -Colonialist mindset is probably buying foreign Rice and has the audacity to complain about the price. Silly intellectual twerp!!! Go to Hell you!!!!
Maybe he’s importing rice from Australia or the moon, so the transportation cost is very high.
Maybe, just maybe.
