The man said he bought the porridge with milk GH¢5 and bread GH¢5, bringing the total to GH¢10.

Looking visibly angry, the young man said he did not understand why Koko, one of the most affordable foods in the country, could now become expensive even for the ordinary person to buy.

He bemoaned the economic condition in the country, which has further compounded the suffering of the masses.

Consequently, the young man called on the political leadership to address the rising cost of living in the country.

"So now, Ghana has become tough to the extent that even Koko has become expensive. We are suffering and our leaders must do something. This Koko GH¢5, why? What crime have we committed," he said.
