Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo, has addressed the current economic challenges, emphasizing that these issues are not unique to Ghana.
He pointed out that economic difficulties are prevalent worldwide, including in Europe, Asia, and the United States, where people struggle to make ends meet.
Agya Koo advised those who are unemployed and critical of the economy to seek jobs and accept the salaries they are offered.
In an interview with One Ghana TV, Agya Koo highlighted the need for Ghana to reduce its reliance on imports and focus more on local production.
“Economic comfort is a myth everywhere. In regions like Europe, Asia, and the USA, hardships are evident, with some individuals even lacking proper documentation for employment.
“Instead of excessive imports, we should focus on local production, especially during tough times. It’s important to work and earn an income rather than complain about wages,” he remarked when discussing Ghana’s economic hardships.
Agya Koo’s comments come amidst a wave of protests and online demonstrations by Ghanaians frustrated with the country’s declining economy.
