The Ghana Drunkards Association has issued a three-week ultimatum to the government to reduce the prices of alcoholic beverages, warning that its 16.65 million members nationwide may stage a massive demonstration if the demand is not met.
The call was made via a video release featuring Moses Obuah, who is presumed to be the group’s leader or representative, as seen on X on Sunday.
In the video, Obuah said the group expects the government to act swiftly, citing the recent sharp appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar and other major currencies as justification for immediate price reductions.
