Controversial Ghanaian actress Afia Schwarzenegger, in a TikTok video, went on a rampage against the agric minister, Owusu Afriyie Akoto, for selling plantain at the premises of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The move, which began on Friday, November 11, 2022, as a response to the growing increment of the prices of food items in Accra, did not sit well with Afia Schwarzenegger.

The actress criticised the minister, saying the move was unsustainable. She quizzed Owusu Afriyie Akoto on whether plantain was the only food item Ghanaians consumed.

She also asked about folks who lived in areas miles away from the ministry and how they would commute to the premises just to buy plantain.

According to Afia, it will be redundant for someone to travel all the way from Nima to the ministry to purchase food items and end up incurring a lot of costs due to expensive transport fares. Many Ghanaians agreed with Afia and dropped interesting opinions on the issue.
