“I lived through the 70s. I saw it, and I saw my parent, when my mother came back from England. As a nurse, she bought a brand new car, Peugeot 403. I can see how eventually, she was not able to repair the car, she was involved in a crash. She was actually coming to visit me, car crash and that was the end of it”

Ghana is currently at a cross road financially. Desire for a comfortable life is a luxury to many of its citizens.

Harsh economic condition, rising cost of living, high cost of petroleum products and its implication on general conditions of life has brought untold hardships across the country.

Government is currently seeking support from the International Monetary Fund(IMF) to support its programmes.
