Ghana Cement Price Discrepancy Sparks Public Outrage

Ghana Cement Prices: Discrepancy Between Official Figures and Market Reality A recent investigation into the price of cement in Ghana has revealed a significant discrepancy between the government's reported price and the actual cost paid by consumers. The government claims the price is GHS 82.00, but interviews with several cement sellers and construction workers show prices ranging from GHS 125.00 to GHS 130.00. "The price is not GHS 82.00," stated one cement seller, "It's much higher." Another construction worker added, "We're paying far more than the government says." This significant price difference raises concerns about the accuracy of official reporting and the potential for price manipulation in the market. Further investigation is needed to determine the cause of this discrepancy and its impact on the construction industry and consumers.
