Ghana Debates Price Controls Amidst Rising Costs Ghana is grappling with rising costs of goods, prompting a heated discussion on the need for government price controls. The debate gained momentum after a recent segment on the popular television show, "Ne Korakora Ne Sen."

This sentiment reflects growing public concern over the increasing cost of living. The discussion underscores the complex economic challenges facing Ghana and the need for a balanced approach to address both consumer protection and market stability.
