“Two thousand Ghana cedis is a small amount if you look at our current economic situation. If you have to pay school fees and other bills.

But if you are a family person, you don’t have the luxury of drinking tea and bread with eggs and milk. It’s too complex. Some of them even add salad,” he explained.
