Need for better governance
Judith Dogbe called on Government to perform way better than the previous year because the country continues to retrogress. She stated that changes the country is experiencing is something that is not helping the country to move forward.
“Just look at the price of pure water, as some sell it for 30 others are selling it for 40 pesewas. The outrageous budget, the e-levy on mobile money and everything. Ghana is becoming so expensive. The country is already expensive but it is becoming so expensive now”.

Judith Dogbe was of the view that government can do better in terms of restructuring some policies and decisions to help the citizens.
“At this point, there is nothing to write home about as a country. We just keep increasing prices on things making everything just go high and I think government can do way better”.
