Kumawood actor, Yaw Dabo has expressed how sad he is about some developments in relations to the country during this Coronavirus season especially the conduct of market women.
According to the actor, government has done an amazing job by ensuring that subsidies are provided for people in the country by absorbing water and a fraction of the electricity bills.
He noted that government is also feeding the vulnerable in society; something he saw as worthy of commendation.
But Yaw Dabo is worried about the fact that some women who sell food, vegetables and other foodstuff have decided to cash in on the plight of Ghanaians to make unimaginable profits.
Dabo who said the amount he used in shopping has skyrocketed revealing that now even cassava which used to be five cedis is currently being sold for twenty cedis, while three fingers of plantain is being sold for fifteen cedis.
Yaw Dabo could not fathom why a fellow human will want to capitalize on a crisis to enrich him/herself when they are supposed to be humanitarian during this period.
The movies actor pleaded with the president and other stakeholders to handle the issues with regards to prices of products on the market or else that will rather kill people before covid-19 strikes.

I agree with Don Little, the president should stamp his authority. The president has all the help/tools at his disposable to know what is going on in the country and how to curb the rising cost of living during the lockdown! The president can do more to help!
It's so amazing it pains a section of our society that Akufo-Addo has a flowing English accent. Well, the president speaks fluent French, too , if you don't bother.
It is quite unfortunate that market women are being so inhuman and greedy in times like this instead of reducing prices for everyone to be able to buy food for the lockdown period. They are heaping curses on themselves if they continue to cash in at times like this. Well done Dabo for speaking up, other celebrities should join in to force the market women stop this wickedness.
Covid-19 has shown real arm rubbers in Ghana to be market women. Yaw thanks for your observations and petition.
This boy is wiser than your president. What he wants your president to do is to stop speaking BRITISH ENGLISH and speak in the local language to Ghanaian market women to stop increasing the prices of food so that the poor can also afford. That is wisdom, not rhetoric.
Ghana Ghana Ghana Ghana Ghana Ghana Ghana, why? Oh! My country why? If you increase the price of foodstuffs, won't you buy another stuff with the same money? Oh! Wickedness in my country.
Just listen to his closing statement..... that the President should appeal to the market women and traders in foodstuffs to be humanitarian not to cash in on the situation but to reduce prices.... yes it is not the President who sells the foodstuffs, you may say; but just as he said he is speaking to "mmadwenma" - to with the wise and prudent....
So what do you want the president to do?
