During a recent interview on Onua FM’s morning show, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson, highlighted Ghana’s relative economic stability compared to other countries, urging citizens to control their spending.
Koomson pointed out that even in developed countries like Germany, people face challenges such as limited access to electricity, which affects their daily routines.
She noted that in Germany, many people only bathe twice a week due to electricity rationing, emphasizing that she was referring to Germany and not Nigeria.
The minister emphasized that while times are tough everywhere, Ghana is faring better in comparison to other countries.
“Today, go to Germany, many people don’t bath regularly due to electricity. They bath twice a week, because there is no light, no water. There is a time given them to use electricity. I’m talking about Germany and not Nigeria.
“Things are difficult everywhere but when you compare Ghana to other countries, Ghana is doing far better,” she said.
She urged Ghanaians to be mindful of their spending habits and to appreciate the relative stability and access to basic amenities they enjoy in Ghana.
