Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, recently declared Ghana to be a more delightful location than London, sparking a passionate debate.
During an interview with Kojo Marfo on Abusua Nkommo at Abusua FM, Wontumi said that he had moved his kids to Ghana because of the country’s more pleasant climate and more affordable living expenses.
Wontumi confidently argued, “I always say Ghana is better than London. If I say so, am I a joker, or is this a joking platform that I would say such things?”
He contended, “Ghana is better than London. My children are in Ghana here because Ghana is more enjoyable than London.”
Wontumi outlined Ghana’s accomplishments, highlighting programs like free education and planting for employment and food.
He said that as a result of his initiatives, food costs had dropped, with tomatoes now costing GHC5.
He insisted, “Because of the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative, foodstuffs are now cheap. Tomatoes are now GHS 5. Pepper, plantains, and meat are not cheap in our markets.”
Chairman Wontumi was unable to relate to the cries of hardship expressed by the general populace, not even with the market pricing relayed by the host Kojo Marfo.
Instead, he charged Kojo Marfo—who maintained he became a vegetarian to save money on meat—of advancing the cause of the rival National Democratic Congress.
“If you have now adopted a vegetarian diet, then you’re not spending a lot. As a vegetarian, you can eat pawpaw leaves, kontomire, and cassava leaves; it’s okay for you.”
“You are spreading NDC propaganda. If not for that, you wouldn’t say you can’t even buy meat,” Chairman Wontumi responded.
Wontumi noted that he could now afford to consume GHC 10.00 worth of beans and Gari, which satisfied him.
