  It's absurd for prices of items to be that high when the dollar to cedi rate has been drastically reduced in favour of the cedis. Why would a ball of kenkey still cost 5-7 cedis, a bottle of Club beer sold in different price ranges from 18-25 ghc?
  
  Prices of food items had skyrocketed that one wonders why when 1 Dollar is changed between 10-12 ghc, 1 Euro between 12-13 ghc. The government must really do something about the current prices of goods in the country otherwise the NDC government will become unpopular.
  
  Prices of items is just too high

  How does one verify that the "pricing regulatory authority" acts efficiently and effectively on the expected outcomes in the public interest?
  In other words, who monitors them, in an extremely corrupt country as Ghana?

  The Office of the President behaves as if it's in oblivion of pricing situations of the country and therefore requires it to be lectured about what needs to be done.

  The Office of the President behaves as if it's in oblivion of pricing situations of the country and therefore requires it to be lectured about what needs to be done.
  
  Does the President not know that prices are very high and keep doing so, and that very stubborn Ghanaian businessmen and women thrive on other citizens misery? The reason is because those working in government could easily afford anything anytime, so they don't give two hoots.

  You see there's no law for the Office of the President to use to force the prices down. Where they can (like the fuel) they have but the Ghanaian is at liberty to adjust prices of goods and services. This was the very reason ...

  You see there's no law for the Office of the President to use to force the prices down. Where they can (like the fuel) they have but the Ghanaian is at liberty to adjust prices of goods and services. This was the very reason why the PNDC rose up against "kala-bule".

  It will be very good to have a commission to control market price. In India, it's not just pharmaceutical, every single thing you buy in India has the price already written on the package, including water. it informs the consumer the actual price of the commodity. I think it will go a long way to stabilize the country's economy if we have the aforementioned measures in place.

  I hope our political leaders are listening because Ghanaians are suffering too much in the hands of the selfish business community. Whenever prices of fuel, the value of the dollar and inflation go up they increase prices arbitrarily yet when the same indicators improve they tell us to wait till their old stock is cleared and mind you the old stock never gets cleared so, prices never go down. Wicked people!

  I am surprised that in this day and age, where even China has ditched price regulations in the private sector, someone wants to drag Ghana down to the level of Cuba and North Korea

  I couldn't agree with this article more. For some years now, we Ghanaians have complained about the rising costs of goods and services as a reflection of the depreciating Ghana Cedi. Today, the government has created the enabling environment for the Ghanaian to reduce their prices without losing and yet, we are reluctant to do so. I think Ghanaians need to take a good look in mirror. Perhaps, it is not really the government that robs us - it is we ourselves!
